Self-reflection is a crucial step on the path to becoming the Übermensch. It allows us to examine our thoughts, actions, and values critically. Through this process, we can identify areas for growth, challenge our assumptions, and forge our own path beyond conventional morality.
"He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying." - Friedrich Nietzsche
