Therefore, we often feel confused and frustrated. We always judge ourselves through others vision and outer things. In this way, we can not see clearly our potential and true feeling. Then, this wrong behavior makes us not do the wise judge to our action and emotion. So if you can recognize yourself through soul, you can control your feeling well. Because you know you what you want enough and deal with the problem in a right way. This is better to you and others. You may not do some stupid things on a rush impulse.
