There is a boundary between self-reflection and external factors. If an oracle came down from the clouds and showed us how many of our problems could be fixed by our own hands, we would become eager to look in the mirror and ask what else could be changed?
Humans are emotional creatures and constantly get in their own way. If we reach out and try to fix this, but it still doesn’t work, something can still be done within ourselves.
And that is all we can do. That doesn’t mean it is easy. But it could be the best that can be done. Self-awareness can lead to better action–when the opportunity presents itself.
