Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don’t know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.

“You’re going to be just fine and you are in no actual danger whatsoever. The ability to inflect change in your circumstances is dependent upon you being able to realize this fact and once again trust it over the inaccuracy of illogical and implausible consequences that have no basis whatsoever in reality.”
