Imagine looking at yourself in a mirror. It is an unclean mirror and your reflection is not so clear as a result. Until, one fine day you stumble upon a process to clean that mirror. Now you can see yourself crystal clear.
Self awareness is the process of cleaning the mirror. There are various processes out there and you are looking for the quickest process for you whether you know it or not.
But, the moment you’re conscious of this (of the fact that you’re looking for the quickest process knowingly or unknowingly), it becomes difficult for you to do anything else other than try to consciously look for the quickest process. 🙏
