Reflecting on what you really want is important because it helps you go beyond societal expectations and dig deep into your true desires. By asking yourself why you want something and the true purpose behind it, you can uncover the real motivation behind your desires. This process of self-reflection allows you to challenge assumptions and explore alternative solutions. In the example of wanting to be on a beach in Thailand, the person realizes that what they truly want is silence to escape the noise of their home. Instead of pursuing an expensive trip, they discover that soundproofing their office is a more sustainable solution. By continuously questioning yourself, you can arrive at a solution that better aligns with your needs and desires.
