The knowledge about ourselves is an end in itself. Self awareness is end in itself. Knowing our patterns of thoughts and beliefs is an ended itself. Being able to self analyse and be critical about our own thinking is an end in itself.
Do not expect something great when you are working consciously and taking decisions with critical thinking. Do not do self-work and work on self-improvement expecting approval and acceptance from others.
Anything that starts with Self* like self-discipline, self-worth, self-esteem, self-respect, self-awareness are only meant for you and only you. So be strict with yourself and tolerant with others.
