At some point, analyzing yourself becomes a hamster wheel. The exit is to actually do something.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Understanding yourself is useful right up to the point where it starts standing in for living. After a while the same questions get turned over with no new information coming in, because insight mostly arrives from contact with the world. Reflection with no action attached is comfortable, which is exactly why it can run for months.

Notice how long you have been circling one question about yourself. Then pick the smallest real move it points to and take it this week, even badly. What happens next will tell you more in an afternoon than another month of thinking.
