Nobody teaches you this about yourself #philosophy #lifechanging

We don't know ourselves or our lives all that well. We've had philosophers talk about— advise us to know yourself for a few millennia. So clearly, both the importance of and our lack of knowing ourselves is not breaking news. We are kind of socialized to think we need to act first. So what are you going to do? And honestly, step one is like, okay, if that's important, start Paying attention. See what is. And, you know, in a very real sense, see what you learn from that. And so the, you know, the point being that, like, if there's something in your life that you think is worth changing, whatever, first stop and pay attention. And then maybe you'll discover these are things that I want to hold on to. Yeah. And these can change. Part of what I've found is we are socialized to think of any tool as a tool for improvement. So we think use, you know, this analytical framework, that to see what's wrong so you can improve it, which is fair. I mean, honestly, we need that.
