Why did they turn out this way?

It’s a question we may find ourselves quietly asking as we navigate life and meet people. “They used to be such a kind person—what happened?” The answer is often simple: at some point, they stopped reflecting on themselves. Self-reflection is an endless journey, and it should remain that way.

There are moments when we are startled by someone’s unexpected transformation. If it’s a positive change, that’s wonderful. But when it’s disappointing, it can be truly shocking. Such changes often signify a failure in self-discipline and personal care—a lack of time spent looking inward. Self-reflection has the power to transform people into the best versions of themselves.
