However, this does not necessarily mean that you must do everything which other people want you to; rather it means acquiring a positive attitude and mindset? it means being respectful to the opinions of others while at the same time remaining true to one's own beliefs. Don't expect to suddenly go on a certain course and immediately become aware of yourself or enlightened. The success of such a journey depends deeply on how bravely you face yourself; on the way, you might discover certain things which you do not like and possibly choose to hide or even deny.
The basic principle of knowing yourself is that every person is responsible, in control and generate their own thoughts to the life they encounter.
Rationalizations are used by many people to give a justifiable explanation for their actions. One may then pretend that the problem is not their own - and now it may be blamed on the other person.
