Be Your Own Shrink. Be Self-Aware

Self-awareness, one of the strongest abilities anyone can have. It is not self-control, but without it, one cannot practise self-control. Truth be told, you can be self-aware and still lack control, but you will be authentic and true to self.

Being self-aware means that will most likely be your own shrink, counsellor and coach. You will dig deep into your subconscious and ask yourself questions which you’ll ordinarily avoid.

Being self-aware helps you recognize the patterns you take which lead to satisfactory or non-satisfactory results.

Being self-aware means that you will be able to talk some sense into yourself when you are being lazy or when you are sulking because things didn’t go as planned.

Being self-aware means that you tell yourself it’s time to stop crying and face tough situations squarely.

Being self-aware means that you tell yourself that it’s actually fear holding you back from taking that step and not lack of funds as you tell people.

Being self-aware helps you recognize infatuation for what it is and not deceive yourself that it’s love.

While, there is a limit to this possibility, Self-awareness helps you see yourself as you really are; wicked, kind, truthful, unfaithful, in love, hateful, unforgiving, etc.

As I said, there is a limit to this possibility, but if it is achieved to its potential height, how much growth becomes available to the possessor of this ability!

Being self-aware, you humbly acknowledge your strengths and are not deluded about your weaknesses. You are watching yourself, lest you fall, so you are less inclined to watch who else is falling.

You work on your growth and are less interested to gossip about those who are stagnant. When you speak, you speak with the wisdom that comes from experience.

Being self-aware gives you balance and you are striving yet thankful for life at your present state.

Being self-aware is the goal.

We all should be self-aware. We all should be our own shrinks.
