Knowing others is wisdom; Knowing the self is enlightenment; Mastering others requires force; Mastering the self needs strength

At the center of your being
you have the answer;
you know who you are
and you know what you want.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be

The only thing that should be introverted about oneself is constructive criticism.

There is no such thing as self-awareness. Imagine thought retreating into itself to think about itself. It would be easier to imagine a revolver bullet extracting itself from its victim's wound and re-entering the barrel. Yes, it would be easier to imagine the universe's explosion suddenly halting its outflow of energy, so that the galaxies congeal once more, and the millions of light-years of their flight through space are immediately annulled.

One world is aware and by far the largest to me, and that is myself, / And whether I come to my own to-day or in ten thousand or ten / million years, / I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness I can wait.
