self-awareness

Every change involves a learning process, closely linked to self-awareness. The emotional impact related to change can be an obstacle or a driver, a boost for people’s growth: it depends on how much the individual is ready to look in the mirror with honesty and humility, and how receptive to feedback he/she is.

"We are always dealing with the problem of change, therefore we must not ask the question “why change” in terms of individual actions, but in terms of actions and increased awareness. Actually, the choice is not between change and no change but between change or being changed, between changing and change."
