Self Awareness Is A Wonderful Thing
Self-awareness is a personal understanding of the very core of one's own identity. It is during periods of self-awareness that people get the closest to knowing themselves objectively.
Self-awareness plays a large role in behavior, as it is common to act differently when people are in a crowd. It is the basis for human traits, such as accountability and conscientiousness. Self-awareness affects people in varying degrees, as some people self-monitor themselves more than others.
Self-awareness is the recognition of our personality, our strengths and weaknesses, our likes and dislikes. Developing self-awareness can help us to recognise when we are stressed or under pressure. It is also often a prerequisite for effective communication and interpersonal relations, as well as for developing empathy for others.
Self-awareness requires honesty and courage, to get in touch with what we are thinking and feeling about ourselves. The better you understand yourself, the better you are able to accept who you are.
The starting point should be the knowledge of oneself as a unique individual and how one relates to this new world. The clarity with which you can answer these questions: Who am I? Where have I been? Where am I going? will determine your capability to chart your own destiny and realise your potential.
In your quest to know yourself, do not think of yourself more highly than you are, rather have a realistic view of your strengths. On the other hand, do not exaggerate your weaknesses and look down on yourself. Also, do not excuse or rationalise your weaknesses. We need a realistic view of both our strengths and weaknesses if we are to know our true selves.
How we see ourselves may be clouded by the feedback messages we received about ourselves from others. But how could anyone know more about you than you? They do not feel your emotions or think your thoughts; No one could know you better than you.
With the following questions you can start your personal process of self awareness, think about the questions carefully, before formulating your answers and then write down your answers, so that you can review them afterwards, in your own private moments and maybe add more substance to the answers.
Can you describe your personality? If yes, then write it down
What are your strengths?
What are your weaknesses?
How do your friends describe you?
Do you agree with their descriptions? Why or why not?
List two situations when you are most at ease.
What specific elements were present when you felt that way?
What types of activities did you enjoy doing when you were a child?
What about now?
What motivates you? Why?
What are your dreams for the future?
What steps are you taking to achieve your dreams?
What do you fear most in your life? Why?
What stresses you?
What is your typical response to stress?
What qualities do you like to see in people? Why?
Do you have many friends as you just described? Why or why not?
When you disagree with someone's viewpoint, what would you do?
Now you will have, maybe for the first time in your life, written down in front of you, who you are and what you think about yourself.
Review what you have said and highlight the things that you do not like about yourself, think about how you can change the things that you do not want to be. Once you have completed reviewing your personal assessment of yourself, sit down with a person that you really trust and discuss what you have written about yourself.
You will be surprised how good a feeling you get when you do this, you will have a sense of lightness and relief, you will laugh a lot and you will start to make actions for the future, your future, your life, your dreams and your destiny. Now that you know yourself, everything is possible, use your imagination, enjoy yourself, life is good.

A fun site on fun Squidoo. Posted June 09, 2008 |
I am a real social animal and love to be really involved with other people, I like the things I do and the great clothes that I wear. And I really like my cool voice and the way that I seem to attract really great guys to talk to me.
Posted November 21, 2007
I like the fact that I can contain my emotions and not let others know how I am feeling, I also like me, you know as a person, friendly, sincere, honest and trustworthy. And I am too modest to tell you anymore about me.
Posted November 16, 2007
Hi, Bob, Kurt, Richard, Kate, oh hi everyone, how are you all, are you going to Pete's party on Friday? I like a lot about myself, but there are days when I don't like myself at all, then I feel a bit depressed and low, but next day comes and I am ok.

Hi, everyone, good to see so many online doing your personal networking. I love reading your blurbs on your inner thoughts about yourselves. Blurb of the month goes to Kurt Fuller for his honesty and off the wall humour. Love and good wishes to you all. Posted November 11, 2007 |
I have been on holiday seeing family in Canada so had no time to come back until now. How is everybody, I hope you are all feeling as good as I do. I like even better the way I look now that I have changed my hair style and bought some new clothes. bye
Posted November 11, 2007
I have spent most of my time reading what others have to say about themselves. I like very little about myself, I am arrogant, stubborn, lazy and very moody, but apart from that I am a real cool dude, loving life and feeling absolutely fantastic about myself.

I seem to have this weird way of misunderstanding things that people say to me, I know that I listen very carefully, but it always ends up with me saying something stupid. Apart from that I like myself ok.
Posted November 21, 2007
I like going downtown and spending time with my friends, they make me feel special and wanted. Maybe its because I am such a nice person to everyone and always there when people need help. Anyway I like a lot about myself, but there is a little I don't like, I talk too much.
Posted November 16, 2007
I like when I wake up in the morning how I feel so good to be alive and in such an amazing world that has so much diversity and opportunity. I like spending time with myself in my own space, this feels good on MyMy talking to you all.
Posted November 13, 2007
I like social networking, making new friends and sharing things, but this site is different, it allows me to say more about me and not just normal stuff. I like how I am cool and calm when others are going crazy and I like the music I make with my band. Life is good if you can like youself and I do.
Posted November 11, 2007
I like the way I talk straight and say things as they are, not just what people want to hear. I also like how I am willing to listen intently to others and not to interrupt them when they are talking. And I like this site because it allows me to express myself.

Hi Kate, answer to your question, will you still like yourself when you are older, liking yourself is inside you and your external appearance has got nothing to do with how you feel about youself, we all get old, but still stay young at heart. Love, My-O-My Posted October 31, 2007 |

I love this site, I have to be careful what I say because I am normally a modest man and do not talk about myself, but I will say that I like that I have become a role model for young people and I hope that you all realise that if you believe in yourself, then others will believe in you too. Posted October 28, 2007 |

It seems really strange, but I feel as if I belong here. What I mean is the things that you are saying are very familiar to me. I have been wanting to talk to someone about what I like about myself and what I don't like, but first what I like is my sense of humour and how I can make others laugh.
Posted October 22, 2007
Everyone is talking about this cool site, found you on Digg and here I am. My grandmother used to say to me, if you like yourself, you know yourself. Well I do like myself, I like being with me, what I mean is I like my own company and the good thing is so do my friends, as you can see on Facebook.
Posted October 21, 2007
Hi My-O-My Most of my friends say that I am a little bit strange, but I think I am normal and nice, I have read your article on self awareness and I am going to ask myself all the questions and find out about myself. Looking in your mirror has helped me a lot, thanks xxx

The Basics of Positive Thinking
To have a respect for the people that are around us and for their obvious contributions, especially the contributions that you make.
To have a belief that things happen for a reason, and that the reason serves you, whatever it is.
To have a conviction that no matter how good or how bad things may be, they are going to get better -- and you can help make them become so.
To have the knowledge that positive people are the ones who make the difference in life -- how many pessimists do you know who have been successful and have done anything worthwhile with their lives?
To have the dedication to live the most positive life that you can, no matter what you may have to face along the way.
To have an understanding that good things happen -- repeatedly -- to those people who are looking out for them.
To have a commitment to form and foster positive habits and decrease negative ones.
Those are the essentials, the basics of positive thinking and once you make them a part of your life, you will see a significant improvement in the amount of success that you achieve.
Positive thinking, being optimistic, is an attitude of mind and once you have that attitude, the entire world around you looks different, the way you respond to people is different and the way they respond to you is also changed.
People who are optimistic live a healthier life than pessimistic people, because their attitude of mind and positive outlook on life means that they face and overcome the adversity situations with less stress.
The greatest discovery in our generation is that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
Develop an optimistic outlook on life through self-affirmations and with the technique of visualising your goals and dreams.
Look at every difficulty as an opportunity, seize the moment, and be thankful for every minute of your life.
Positive quotations can also help to fill our minds with optimistic thoughts and allow us to look at things from a different, more positive perspective.
Here are some positive quotations to start you in that process, but I am sure that you will find many, many more that help you, once you are looking for them.
"Big things are expected of us and nothing big ever came of being small."
"I'm not sure what the future holds, but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate."
"It is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is."
"With the realisation of one's own potential and self confidence in one's own ability, one can build a better world."
"Whenever a negative thought concerning your personal power comes to mind, deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out."
"My main goal starting the day is to go out there and win."
"I am always confident in myself, that if I put my all into it, I will do it."
"There's nothing wrong with having your goals really high and trying to achieve them."
And just remember, that your living is determined not so much by what life brings you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Think positive always have an optimistic attitude and good luck on the journey of life's enjoyment.

Is Stress Controlling Your Life?
But what does that mean for the people that experience stress and what effect does it have on their lives.
Stress is caused by having anxiety about the things that are happening in your life, the anxiety may be because of financial difficulties, about a relationship that has gone wrong, or many other things.
If you have done something that is wrong, the guilt will mean that you will find yourself carrying a burden that is too much for you, which will cause stress.
If you are having to put up with a lot of hassle from colleagues, family or friends, then this will create an emotional stress for you.
Stress can become apparent just by being in an environment of nervous tension, where the attitudes of other people create an atmosphere of uncertainty or insecurity for you.
Having a car accident, an operation at the hospital, or anything that results in you suffering a trauma, can cause stress.
There are many reasons why you may be finding life a bit of a strain, everything you do seems to go wrong, everyone seems to be against you and you feel as if nothing can be done to change it. Having to face the pressure caused by other people, their temperament, noise and general chaos can all leave you with a feeling of stress.
You may be feeling a sense of oppression, because of your health, the weather or your surroundings and again this will mean that your life is stressful. When your life is so stressful you find yourself being constantly full of worry, misery, sorrow, suffering and troubles seem to pile up around you leaving you nowhere to turn to find relief.
Stress is around us all the time, but it is the way we respond to it that determines if we are to succeed or fail in life.
Dealing with, and responding to life's adverse situations will cause you to have pressure and stress which will result in the possibility of you experiencing psychological problems.
And the pressures of life and the related stress can affect your blood pressure, cholesterol levels and could possibly mean that you will have a heart attack.
Stress can also weaken your body's immune system, making you more susceptible to disease and illnesses.
The only way to deal with stress is to not let it influence and control your life. By finding a distraction that is powerful enough you will be able to re-focus your activities so that stress becomes less and is finally eliminated from your daily life.
Being creative can be a strong distraction that significantly reduces the stress that you are experiencing, but unfortunately it only lasts for as long as the creative activity and when normal life activities return, so does the stress.
The only distraction that is powerful enough is love, whether that is the love for your partner, your children, spiritual love or love for yourself. Once you have been distracted by this powerful emotion, it becomes your focus and it soon creates a peace and harmony within yourself that the world's chaos cannot touch and that harmony is your weapon against stress.
With love filling your mind, stress can no longer control your life, you begin to be inspired and you want to make things happen in your life. Once you are inspired the ideas start to flow and the positive adrenalin begins to create a motivation to transform your life.
The ability to effectively respond to and overcome stress, will not only reduce the effect it has on your physical and emotional health, it will enhance your performance, which will be seen in a greater focus, increased productivity and you will feel more creative.
Less time will be spent blaming yourself and getting depressed and there will be a noticeable increase in the speed of recovery from the challenges and setbacks that you experience.
You will have a feeling of being in control and will have a constructive approach to how you address the challenges that you encounter each day. You now have more energy and a feeling of empowerment.
Love is a fundamental part of our being; we could not exist without it. It is as primitive as our beginnings and is an integral part of our instincts.
Without love our world would be a very sad place, no positive direction or purpose and a feeling of emptiness.
Love gives us the hope to go on, under circumstances that can be almost unbearable. Love puts us back in control of our lives.
Success and the Subtle Something
Success in life is not a destination; it is a part of the Journey.
Success can be realised in any walk of life, by organisations, groups, communities, families and individuals.
In business, success may be seen as being the market leader or the first with an innovation or increasing the dividend to shareholders.
Sporting activities bring success in championships, trophies and medals.
Whereas, communities may see success as, a new school, or hospital, or youth centre.
For families, success shows itself with house ownership, family unity and the progression of their children's education.
Individuals measure success in terms of personal achievements, diplomas, promotions, salary increases and even the type of car they drive.
Success will be determined by how strong our motivation is, how inspired we are, what our attitude of mind might be, or how much vitality we have.
Success will also be affected by how good our performance is, how productive we are, or how creative we are.
But success is not only about how well recognised we are for our performance or by how much monetary prosperity that we have accumulated.
Success is also about the quality of our lives, our happiness and the state of our health.
The feeling of being successful is enduring, long after the initial success, whereas the obstacles and adversity that had to be overcome, in order to succeed are fleeting memories in the mists of the past.
We gain strength from success; it is the tangible reward for our endeavours. It shows it was worth the investment in time and energy. It lifts our spirits, so that we can continue the Journey.
Successful people have discovered that subtle 'something' that enables them to overcome adversity.
When an unexpected change occurs, they do not perceive it as a problem; they welcome it as an opportunity for more success.
Successful people are self confident, determined, resilient, persistent, and tenacious; and believe in themselves being able to achieve their desired goal or objective.
Because of this, they are emotionally secure, in control; they listen to their instincts and are at harmony with themselves.
They are patient, knowing that sometimes things may take longer to achieve, but they know that they will achieve them.
Their motivating force is the desire to succeed, having faith in their actions and because of their tenacity, they will never, ever give up; they do not believe in failure.
Successful people have a deep urge to make progress, achieve their goals and to fulfil their dreams.
They have a vision which inspires them to grow and at the same time motivate and contribute to other peoples lives.
Successful people want to explore their potential, using all their capabilities, carefully listening and monitoring the situation and knowing instinctively when to take action and gain the rewards.
To them, everything is possible; it is only a matter of using their imagination, conceiving an idea, believing in themselves and then achieving it with their actions.
Successful people will aim higher than they know they can achieve, because they know that if they aim for the moon, even if they fall short, they will be in the stars.
They not only have motivation in abundance to help them, they are gifted with enthusiasm, passion, drive and ambition.
Nothing deters them, when others may say 'it can't be done', they will find a way, even if it takes them a very long time to do it.
Successful people are very optimistic, full of energy and naturally healthy in body and mind.
We Are All Born With A Positive Attitude
The Inspiration is our ideas and the Endeavour is the effort that we put in, to make those ideas happen, but for them to be successful we have to build our lives on the strong foundations, of Love and Faith.
If we have Love all around us from our parents, our family and friends we are cocooned in a feeling of protection, but that is only half the story, if we have Faith in the people around us, and, or a Faith in spiritual terms, then we feel trust, which gives us a sense of security and completes the strength of the foundations.
When we first start out in this world we have no fears, we are innocent to our surroundings and have no idea what it means to be negative. All that we learn will come from our experiences and our attitude from this early beginning is one of being positive.
For example, when a baby is learning to walk do you ever hear them say, "but I can't do it", no, they just keep on trying until they succeed, they can only think positive, they do not know what it means to give up and they have never been taught the idea that it might be impossible.
As we grow up, hopefully in a cocoon of unconditional love, we are able to observe and learn many activities, to gain many experiences and to be told many different ideas, but if we have a trust in the people that we are involved with, we stay positive in our thoughts and attitude.
For as long as we are confident that the feeling of protection and security is true and strong in our lives, then there is nothing that will cause our positive attitude to be in any way altered or diminished, even if we are facing the many inevitable adversities of life.
As long as we have a trust in the people around us or a trust, (faith), in a spiritual sense then we remain positive and can really achieve so many successful things in our lives. If we start to lose that trust in other people, then we turn to God and if our trust, (faith), is strong we will persevere and remain positive because we have hope.
But, if we also do not have trust, (faith), in God, whether we didn't have it from the beginning of our lives, or we have lost our trust, (faith) along the way, then we become negative and pessimistic about life and find it almost impossible to consider that we could be successful.
So it is having, or not, trust, (faith) that is the pivotal point and the deciding factor as to whether our attitude is positive, optimistic or negative, pessimistic.
If we lose trust in the people around us, whether that is our parents, our children, family, friends, colleagues or neighbours, then it is because they have changed or done something to lose our trust.
But if we lose trust, (faith) in God and our spiritual life, then it is because we have changed how we feel inside, about our spiritual life and what we believe in when it comes to thinking about God.
The Love that God has for us never changes, it is unconditional and constant. If we stop having faith in God, then it means that we have given up on hope and it is then totally understandable that without hope our world, that we live in, suddenly looks very negative.
The strength of our foundations begin to crumble and without that strength we find it very difficult to be inspired, to think of ideas, which leaves us with a feeling of not needing to put any effort, no endeavour into what we do in our lives.
In this situation we not only think very negative, we also seem to face a lot of adversity in our lives, which we find very difficult to overcome, pushing us even deeper into our depression and despair.
Maybe, after quite a long time, someone will come along that you can build trust in again, a new friend, a respected colleague at work or a new neighbour that has moved into your community.
But, why wait for something to happen from someone else, outside of yourself, when you have it within your power, to determine your way of thinking, your attitude of mind and your outlook on life.
Make anew or re-establish your connection with God, feel the Love that he has for you, walk strong in His Grace and build your trust in Him. That trust will re-enforce your feeling of hope and with that your mind will turn to more positive things.
You will find that you can do so many things more successfully and as each day goes past, you rebuild your foundations, regain the strength and find that you have many new ideas, that you are willing to put the effort into realising.
You wake up with a different outlook on life, feeling full of energy and vitality, nothing and nobody is going to stop you being the person you always wanted to be, and you just know that you are going to succeed in your life in everything that you do.
Being optimistic and having a positive attitude is instinctively built into us from the very beginnings of our lives. We are all born with a positive attitude and by having Faith in God we will stay that way.
The Journey- Realising A Dream
We endeavour to understand our purpose in life, the reason why we exist and discover what it is that is expected of us.
As we travel on this Journey, it is not about how far we have come, but how long we have left, to complete what we have defined as our purpose in life.
We are all navigating our way on the Journey, searching for knowledge, exploring experiences and trying to understand the signs along the way, to determine if we are going in the right direction and all the time wanting to progress, moving our purpose in life forward and upward.
It is possible in some people's life for them to proceed over a great distance, in a very short passage of time, while others transverse a short distance over a considerable amount of time.
Not having a clear vision of what it is that you are trying to achieve in life, will leave you with an intangible set of objectives, which can only result in failure.
Before setting out on life's Journey, it would be appropriate to establish what sort of voyage you intend to embark upon and at least in basic terms, what you hope to achieve.
Without any firm plans, we have to take whatever life hands out to us, but this inevitably will mean that the Journey will become an odyssey, wandering from place to place, without any sense of direction and destined to result in a compromised or empty life.
This will mean that instead of participating and determining your destiny, you are merely a spectator watching others fulfil their lives, while you reflect on a life of missed opportunities and what might have been.
The people that experience fulfilment in their lives have had to endure many of the same adverse situations, but because they have a love of life, have had inspirational ideas and had faith in the outcome of their endeavours, they have overcome these adversities.
These people welcome the challenges that they face in their lives and know that the unexpected changes and setbacks that they encounter are all part of the Journey.
Realising a dream is having an objective or goal, something you want to achieve in your life, no matter what. Something that will keep you focused and give you purpose.
But to realise that dream will mean that you will face a lot of adversity and setbacks in your life until your dream is achieved.
Your dream can take many forms; it may be related to your personal enhancement, or having your own business, or building a house, or making a journey, or even moving to another country.
Whatever the dream, the only way it is going to be realised is if you are persistent, resilient and tenacious, making up your mind that even though it may take a long time, maybe years and that many obstacles may distract you from your purpose, you will realise the dream before you come to the end of your life.
Sometimes the only way you can succeed in realising a dream is for someone else to share that dream with you, this may be, a close friend, a loved one or a business partner.
But, you must both be of the same mindset, focused on the same purpose, because if the going gets tough and one is not strong enough to overcome the adversity and challenges that are presented to them, then the dream will be abandoned and lost.
A dream is a desire, one that consumes and obsesses you until it is realised.
Having made the decision that you will make this dream happen, with the visualisation and belief in the attainment of your desire, then, you must have faith in the events that happen along the way.
Everything happens for a reason, to give us direction or to teach us something and it is up to us to interpret what is happening.
Sometimes you may be taken in a totally different direction, but there will be a reason for this, it may be the only way you will find out what you need for your dream to be progressed or realised.
If you are determined enough, if your desire to succeed is so strong that it totally consumes you, if you can visualise and believe in your dream and have faith, keeping going no matter what adversity presents itself, then you will have your dream realised.
