Based on Mishnah Torah I: Book of Knowledge, the Laws of Character Traits, Ch. 2

How does one arrive at the balanced, "middle path" in any given character trait?
Are ALL traits best at their midpoint? Is there any trait we should pursue to an extreme?

We know today scientifically that people can change. We can rewire our brains. As neuroscientists say, "neurons that fire together, wire together." We can and should know our nature and accept our nature, but we can and should choose how NURTURE our second nature to be on the path to the best possible life for ourselves and the people around us that have to deal with our shtick. Our habits can rewire our problematic tendencies and reinforce our positive attributes.
