Self-confrontation and Conscious Living

The first step towards self-actualization is an attitude in which man confronts himself. This confrontation is oneself is the secret of conscious living. Confrontation is the only way we can start living consciously , "Why am I doing these things?Why I am speaking these things?Why am I living this way ?Why am I thinking this way or that way?When you start confronting yourself, you start awakening , for no one can awake you expect yourself.
