"It's true that it is not often easy to tell when something is no longer useful...[but] I've found that most of the time, with a little introspection, I can."
Yes, and I'm suggesting that for the introspection to have come, the balance--the trajectory--must have already changed for you.
It was the natural falling away of what was impeding your way--of what was not useful to you--that brought you the introspection.
I cannot 'will' introspection, just as I cannot 'will' awareness.
For me this is not a disempowering determinism, but something entirely different.
Something far more benevolent.
