Seeing your faults clearly is evidence that you are here and capable of doing something about them, which is easy to lose sight of while you are looking. The same honesty that shows what is wrong is the thing that makes correction possible. A person past changing does not bother looking.

When self-examination turns heavy, note that the looking itself is a sign of capacity. Then pick one thing you saw and act on it in a small way. Looking without acting is what turns it into a weight.
