Shifting Focus from Self to Others
Focusing excessively on oneself can hinder personal growth and achieving goals, which is illustrated by the story of Anula. After facing significant challenges, including her family's struggles, Anula initially relied on self-centric techniques like visualization to approach her medical aspirations. However, she realized that these methods only fueled her anxiety and self-doubt.
