Finding a spot where you want to set up a "base of operation", a camp, a home. From there, you need to get familiar with your inner world so that you have a stronger connection to it and a basic understanding [i]of[/i] it, and that involves knowing your strengths, weaknesses, and limits.

After all, you could [i]technically[/i] go out and collect a bunch of fragments, but it wouldn't do you much good anytime soon because you won't be able to do anything with them until you make the necessary progress.

In short, you need to take the time to get familiar with who you currently are, before you can take steps forward.
