If you take the time to observe and reflect on what happens in your life, even the tiniest occurrences, you may learn a lot about yourself. After all, shouldn't this be the most important goal to be pursued in any human existence? Socrates seems to have said that an unexamined life is not worth living. You may not agree but, if you reflect for a moment, you realize that there is a certain truth in it. What truth? Several 'truths' could be identified, actually, such as the need to know yourself better, understand what is not working, choose a different way of dealing with others, modify a negative attitude, become more accepting, open-minded, patient, etc. There are many ways in which a careful examination of the present flow of your existence can help you lead a better life. You can do this by paying constant attention to your thoughts, words, actions. This means being "aware". It may be not easy all the time, but it may also be worth trying. You decide for yourself.
