"I think that the first step in growth is coming to the realization that you're living the wrong life. That you have "messed-up" your life and that it's basically your fault and also your responsibility to fix. You may come to realize that you're "bullshitting" yourself and others, that you're putting on fronts, rationalizing etc. Well, when you come to these kinds of realizations, how do you feel? Suppose someone asks you how you're doing. You reply, "Well, I've just come to the realization that I've messed up my life, that I'm psychologically messed up and that it's basically all my fault, I feel great! No, you don't feel great at that point, but it may be the beginning and the motivation for growth."
