Simplified Meaning:
This quote is saying that people who constantly focus on their problems and sadness might not benefit from reflecting too much on themselves. Imagine you have a friend who always looks in the mirror and complains about their appearance. They spend so much time worrying about their looks that they miss out on the joys of life happening around them. The idea is to step away from self-criticism and self-pity. Instead, focusing on positive actions and experiences can help someone feel better and happier. In life, if you're always focusing on what's wrong, you can forget to see the good things you have. So, it's better to look outward and find ways to improve your situation, rather than just focusing inward and dwelling on your troubles.
