The power of self awareness

Self awareness is simply the ability of an individual to control himself and also maintain a positive and optimistic mindset in all times especially in seemingly negative circumstances.

Without self awareness, you wouldn't know who you are or what you want in life or what you wouldn't want. Without self awareness, you would only be existing for the most part without living, since you are still unaware of what you are capable of.

Ther are three thought processes associated with an individual.

I) what people know about you.

II) what you know about yourself

III) what you and others didn't know about you.

Of these, the third is the most critical as theis is where your potentials, ability and power to change the world lies and they are still waiting to be unlocked.

Hence, self awareness is a lifelong process . Also, a deep sense if awareness helps one to navigate through the various myriads of limitations created by one's own mind which includes; anger, depression, sadness and low self-esteem.

Without a deep sense of awareness,one could be easily manipulated even by one's own family talkmore of the treacherous world. Knowing that all your unpleasant feelings are actually caused by your own reactions to people and situation is a very important step in living a well poised and balanced life. Because the truth is ; no one can ever hurt you without your permission. As they say; " you can't change what people think about you but you can always choose how you react'.

In essence, when you have developed self awareness, you would know how you'd control your emotions : when to get angry ( if necessary), when to laugh, when to be sober or even smirk. A self conscious person would definitely have an improved ability on thyself and thy actions.

Some few benefits of self awareness;

I) It gives one the control over one's internal energy which in most cases influence the outcome of the physical world

A good example of the result of being self aware;

John had graduated for three years now and still unemployed. Every now and then, he come across one opportunity or the other, but he's too discouraged to take a step based on the number of individuals jostling for that one opportunity. So due to low self-esteem,he always assume a defeatist mentality and allowed numerous opportunities to pass him by. But recently , a friend recommended a book on self help to John titled "the power of now" authored by echart Tolle and this book had totally revamped John's mindset and confidence

Immediately, he started believing in his power for good and he got to learn and master a few skills which gave him good leverage in the midst of competition.

Soon, John realised that he had been the problem all along and not the government or his environment nor his family.

2) With self awareness, one is able analyze things from different perspective s therefore seeing things that others fail to see, thereby making wise judgement.

3) A self conscious individual is totally free from prejudice, baseless assumptions and sentiments. Things that sway majority of the population.

Always idealise the perfect frame of your life and keep this in mind every other day and at thesame time, think about your goals, abilities, confidence and hopes. Because the more you draw courage from your strengths, the more accurately you will be guided towards the right direction by sheer intuition and will. And every success you achieve no matter how little would make you more resolute and determined to reach your peak no matter what distraction might come your way later .
