Challenge everything

Every action you take has been conditioned into you in some way. You are operating on programming, whether it is malevolent programming from the government or unintentional programming of restricting views from family members.  Therefore, it’s crucial to consider everything you feel the “need”to do. Most of the time, all you are doing is following instructions and going through the motions.  To be a truly great person, you must be able to emerge from this.  This “stepping out” will frequently result in significant suffering or shame, both of which you were programmed to experience.
