An unexamined life is not worth living. As long as one does not examine oneself, one is entirely subject to whatever one is wired to do, but once you become aware that you have choices, you can exercise them.
Without a conscious awareness of our choices, we are at the mercy of our habits and instincts, unable to steer our lives in a meaningful direction. However, by engaging in self-examination, we can better understand our tendencies and patterns and use this self-knowledge to make more intentional choices that align with our values and aspirations. Ultimately, this process of self-discovery can help us unlock our full potential and lead a more fulfilling life.
