Awareness

Thomas Fuller stated, “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” Another way to say this would be, it’s fine to understand and comprehend, it’s a whole other ball game to take that understanding and comprehension to the next level and actually do something about it. Can be a bit of a challenge, wouldn’t you say?

And, this is where self-awareness comes into play. It’s knowing what we are doing, as we do it, and understanding the ‘why’ behind us doing it. It’s that digging deeper, looking within, and removing any pretense of why we think what we think and why we do what we do.

And here’s the fabulous thing about this awareness, with it, we can be kinder and more compassionate towards ourselves. Because now we understand. And with that, we can gain control of our lives and take ownership of our words and deeds. It truly is quite freeing if you allow this knowledge of self to build up as opposed to tear down.

So, become self-aware, my friends. Build up. Reach higher. Go for the gold.
