It is a paradox that makes Otto’s life work so well. If you can’t put it into words, you can’t put it into action. Otto’s philosophy is that if we can’t say something, we can’t do anything.
Otto is a strong believer in the importance of self-awareness, and has said, “Those who know themselves, know others.” So when we go into a situation that requires us to “act”, we tend to look for cues that we need to act. We look around, we observe, we analyze. We also look to see if others are doing the same thing.
Because Ottos philosophy is so strong, it’s hard to think of a time when Ottos felt a need to self-reflect. Still, in the past, Ottos has been known to ask himself questions about his actions and motivations, and maybe even ask others if they are doing the same thing. So maybe it’s a good thing that Ottos is now a little more open.
Maybe this is another thing that Ottos can do. Maybe Ottos is the new face of the word “self-reflection.
The one thing you have to remember when you look at the term self-reflection is that it is a very subjective term. There are some people who are self-aware, and others who are not. So it is hard to tell what someone is thinking or feeling. It is a topic that is very interesting, and we’ll be talking about it much more in the future.
It still strikes me as odd that the term self-reflection is so subjective. Maybe it is just a new euphemism for “self-awareness.” I have yet to find a self-aware person who can talk about the reality of his or her actions without the use of the word self. At least one self-aware person talked about having had a self-reflection in an article about the concept of self-awareness.
To my mind, self-reflection is like a mirror. We can see ourselves reflected in that self-reflection. It is a reflection of what we think about ourselves. In this sense, self-reflection can be a kind of self-development. It is seeing ourselves through the eyes of another that is self-development. It’s not about being able to be self-aware and understanding ourselves, but rather being able to think as another.
Self-reflection is a way to get to know yourself a little better. When we are self-aware, we might feel that we have internalized certain truths or that we are self-aware of certain truths. When we are not self-aware, we might just have internalized a lot of things that we don’t believe we are. When you are not self-aware, you are not self-aware, you are just making things up.
I’m using the term “self-aware” to mean, “consciously aware of the world around me, and that I am a part of it.” What I mean when I say self-aware, is that we are aware of ourselves, but only to a certain extent. We are aware of ourselves in certain ways, but not in others. When we are self-aware, we are aware of parts of ourselves that we don’t think we are aware of.
