Yes that's exactly what we need to do - introspect within ourselves to see whether there is any scope for change and improvement !

Self analysis is evaluating your traits like your strengths and weaknesses. Only through this analysis one will be able to reach his cherished goals .

 

Whenever we find something going wrong in our life, and things are not moving the way we desire, it is time for self-analysis.  In this process most often we ignore one main culprit – it is our way of thinking.  Our way of thinking is responsible for our success and failure. If we can change our thoughts from negative to positive, our whole life will change and will become a celebration.  

I agree. You are what your thoughts are. Implied in this one should be careful about his thoughts. Even a slightest tinge of negativity will upset one's life.

 

There never is a perfect situation in life, similarly no one can ever be always positive and always in a mood to introspect and self evaluate since we all have our shades of grey in some areas.It is precisely because of this that we need to introspect, so that we become better people and try and overcome those grey periods which might make us depressed and guilty if not analysed and dealt with ! 

Yes, people need to be positive. They must look that they might be wrong. He need to analyse himself first, there will be a chance of improvement.  

There is no such thing as " Perfection". But one can strive to achieve a Near perfect state. There are misconceptions about Perfection. I'm of the opinion, one can be near perfect, not by doing greet things. But doing things in a a different way with ease and elan. For this one need to be Positive minded. And Positive attitude can be achieved only through introspection, will to win and steadfast belief in Self.

True, it is only when you dispassionately analyse yourself, there is scope for improvement or else you go on with an exaggerated sense of self importance , which many a times masks an insecure personality ..

Self analysis must be sincere so that one can work on  his more on weak points. Otherwise it will be Self conceit.

 

Self growth/development starts with self introspection.  However, if people have poor self esteem it could lead to other problems. With a little guidance and help people could make major improvements. 

I basically feel (even as a mental health professional) Understanding of psychology is not enough.. one needs to consider things from a spiritual aspects. We need to let go of emotional hurts and pains on a daily basis. Forgiveness is more for ourselves than for others.

Absolutely ! Taking each day as it comes is the best policy one can adapt. I also feel that it is wiser to forgive forget and move on in life !

Self analysis is the best available option to remain balanced. Though everyone is not capable of self-assessing, there are people who are not interested too. I believe, if it is practised each and everyday very keenly then negative traits will gradually get rectified.      

True. Everyone may not be in a position to analyze themselves. Such people may not be able to achieve what they want in their lives than those who analyze themselves constantly. Self analysis enables you to make a Road map. It assures you that every step you are taking is towards your goal..

 

Self analysis starts from childhood when you teach your child to accept mistakes and weaknesses and look for ways to overcome them without treading on others. It also includes respecting other people and their freedom without being judgmental and giving space to people in any relationship.

Definitely. All good habits should start from the home in the formative years. In this process parents have a vital role.

 

Self analysis is a secular idea which non secular persons pay lip service and preach others to follow. It is difficult but advisable to improve one's character and life. 

Leaving aside secular and non secular,  aspects, self analysis in general is a good tool for leading a life of one's choice. Mere self analysis will not do the magic. the effectiveness of self analysis becomes true only with sufficient implementation.

 

Exactly I agree with you. Secularists are inclusive and non secularists are not. I am not using secular term as is understood in Indian politics. So pl be secular.

OK. As long as the importance of self analysis is understood, Secularism is nothing for me.

People who are not interested are those who think they are above analysis.. It is in our own interest that we analyse our actions at the end of the day and see where we can improve or make amends if necessary. Two simple words Sorry and Thank You can make a lot of difference to your inter personal relationships !
