As far as I can tell, that quote is one sentence, so I'm not sure how you're dividing it up.
"For example: most men have inner conflicts of values;"
This part. It's an issue I can solve quite easily, but at the same time it feels like the bar is being set lower, rather than higher, and that's what irks me.
The quote is exhibiting a thing not to do, so that doesn't seem that surprising to me. I'd restate the quote as something like "resolve your inner conflicts, even if that requires dramatic effort, rather than letting them fester."
