If you want to improve yourself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding you back and preventing your evolution. These could be your defensive attitudes, your fear of being dispossessed, your ambivalence, your radicalism, or your over-reliance on your instincts.

For Kenneth Johnson, healthy emotional development will require a conscious adaptation, because he is still the captive of sensations which have never been clarified, and, as a result, his sensitivity cannot really blossom fully. Although he seeks close relationships and intimacy with people he trusts to give him love and support, he sometimes feels alienated from other people and may withdraw into a remote bubble. Were he to open himself fully to the world of relations with others, by the means of continual, subtle changes, he could prepare himself for a total metamorphosis of his destiny. Both his sensitivity and his relationships would have access to a new path, more altruistic, open, and dedicated to others.
