“The intended result of self-examination is self-awareness, which then opens the door to self-regulation. If we become aware of a thought or feeling that might lead us astray, self-regulation reins in errant impulses, like making a regrettable statement. Self-examination is the introspective discipline that leads to self-awareness. We can then use that awareness to guide our actions.”

“Though power is inherently neither good nor bad, unregulated power is a highly potent force that can exert an insidious effect on our core when we obtain it. For most people, power is acquired slowly, and therefore, it’s core-altering effect is subtle. Power is odorless and tasteless like carbon monoxide and can overpower us without warning.”

Our culture’s obsession with striving to look perfect makes us reluctant to look at our own duality—that some of our impulses are noble, while others are not so benevolent. It is not that we have yielded to our shadow, but we prefer to deny that we even have a shadow.

“Healthy self-examination is very different from the narcissism inherent in self-absorption. A self-absorbed person views self-reflection as an end in itself, which is nothing more than a preoccupation with his or her own inner workings. These are the people who actually enjoy navel gazing!”
