What is self-awareness?
Self-awareness
Not everyone is interested in delving into their inner self, whether to discover their purpose, or become aware of the reasons and mechanisms they have for responding to what life offers them
Self-awareness
Many may fall into that category and then some significant event propels them into a journey of self-discovery; and understanding their purpose becomes important, developing greater consciousness and awareness. Stephen Harrison
Self-awareness
Self-awareness is the necessary precursor to personal change, learning and selfimprovement. Nick Forster I maintain that the journey of self-discovery and self-mastery is a key to unlocking personal power and developing a capability to lead others, regardless of any natural talent. Stephen Harrison
Self-awareness
Authentic leadership begins with selfawareness and knowing yourself deeply. Self awareness is not a trait you are born with but a capacity you develop throughout your life time
Self-awareness
Its your understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, your purpose in life, your values and motivation and how and why you respond to situations in a particular way. William George

The bridge
When you have discovered who you are from the depths of your being; you know what you love to do that matches your purpose, strengths, abilities, values and personality, then you are on the path to financial empowerment.
The bridge
Self-made millionaires are those who have found a field where their natural strengths and abilities are exactly what is required to do the job and achieve the results desired. Most self-made millionaires say that they "never worked a day in their life. Brian Tracy
The bridge
You must find a field in which you can be totally absorbed, a job or area of endeavor that completely fascinates you, that holds your attention, that is a natural expression of your special talents and abilities. Brian Tracy
Think!
What is meant by thinking? Clear, decisive, calm, deliberate, sustained thought with a definite end in view. James Allen
Again think!
The student who learns that power comes from within, that he is weak only because he has depended on help from outside, and who unhesitatingly throws himself on his own thought, instantly rights himself, stands erect, assumes a dominant attitude, and works miracles. Charles F. Hannel
Learn
Learning is best when it is self-directed and self-motivated Two types of learning exist: Deep learning & surface learning
Learn
Deep learning involves conceptual reorganization; in surface learning nothing of importance in the learners mind changes. Deep learning is achieved through thinking about the subject matter; surface learning involves rote memorization. Tom Lombardo Ph.D.
Learn
Not only is deep learning associated with the love of learning, it is also associated with a passion for thinking. Tom Lombardo Ph.D.
Create
We are not talking about hardwork here I know many hardworking people who never seem to have enough money. Hard work will not bring you financial freedom. Only becoming a Deliberate Creator will guarantee your financial freedom. Robert Anthony
Deliberate creator
there is a vast difference between simply thinking, and directing our thoughts consciously, systematically and constructively. When we do this we set in operation the mightiest force in existence, the creative power of the universal mind. Charles F. Hannel
Deliberate creator
Take complete control over every part of your life and create your own future. You must leave nothing to chance. Brian Tracy
Adapting to circumstance
Do not say that your surroundings are against you. A mans surroundings are never against him; they are there to aid him, and all those outward occurences over which you loose sweetness and peace of mind are the very conditions necessary to your development, and it is only by meeting and overcoming them that you can learn, and grow and ripen. James Allen
Adapting to circumstance
the fact remains that no amount of genius has ever availed upon the earth unless enforced by WILL POWER to overcome the obstacles that hedge about every one who would rise above the circumstances in which he was born, or become greater than his calling. (Quote from unknown source)
Adapting to circumstance
He may not succeed in all his plans. He may even encounter much failure; but when he fails, it will be that he may frame nobler purposes and ascend to higher achievements. He will only fail in order to reach a success greater than that of which he first dreamed. His life will not, cannot, be a failure. James Allen
