ROAD TO SELF-BETTERMENT - based on the basic principle of Stoicsm - written by jrqc

There is always time for introspection, there is always something to be fixed here and there, it is timeless and aids in our self-discovery and feeling manifestations within ourselves. Introspection holds the key to unveiling aspects within ourselves that require more attention and improvement. I truthfully believe it is absolutely important to engage in this process as it is not only valuable but essential for personal growth. This process can enable us to delve in the depths of our sentiments and to comprehend ourselves better.

At its core, introspection empower us to differentiate feeling that nurture our well-being and those who undermine it. Equally, it offers the opportunity to  discern the cultivation of emotional intelligence allowing us to mitigate and reduce the negative ones. However, this latter endeavor seems at times quite cumbersome, since it is basically a testament of how intricate our human nature and the capacity of self-control is. We are not perfect in our human nature. Hence, the importance of self-examination. 

Our human nature exhibits a primal tendency for negative feelings, impeding our ability to counteract harmful sentiments, since they have been rooted in ourselves since the beginning and historically they served as a mechanism of survival. The way I see our world today differs from that of old, and hence, I know I must exercise a tighter control even as difficult as it might be. Ultimately, the allure of rage and other detrimental feelings is fleeting and deceptive. While they might provide momentary release, they exercise a heavy toll on our psychological well-being. They shroud our clarity of thought, blur our judgment, and foster discord in our relationships. Consciously choosing to unburden ourselves from the weight of these emotions becomes an act of self-preservation and self-respect.

I think the path for self-betterment is constant, timeless, and at sometimes unending. But certainly, it will equip us with the necessary tools in order to build a more harmonious existence that will directly impact the way we are and feel as well as our relationships with others. It is can be challenging, nevertheless not impossible.
