On the Road

to Self-Awareness:

The Greatest Discovery

is You

Genetically we inherit our parents features from the color of our hair to the color of our eyes. As we began our journey of life; we adopt the morals, values, standards and philosophies of our parents, which is and was, conceded down from generation to generation. Just as the mother eagle challenges her child to soar, we ultimately step into a diverse world that is contrary to our truths. Our perception of events in our life shapes the foundation of how we respond to distractions, trials, fears and others. Our limited awareness of self paralyzes our beliefs and diminishes our dreams.

Do you remember growing up, when you were a kid being asked, “What do want to be when you grow up?” Take a moment to think about the excitement and passion you exuded when you answered that question. Your beliefs weren’t yet contaminated. And you believed that you were going to be a doctor, a lawyer, a fireman or whatever dream job you thought of.

Your dreams were YOU and the desire to be was evident. No one dared to tell you that you could not be whatever you wanted to; though, somewhere along your journey through life, perhaps you began to tell yourself what you could and could not do.

What was it or who was it, that stifled your dreams? Was it fear, procrastination, family, others perception of you, your spouse or maybe even yourself?

May I share a secret with you? It is okay to be imperfect and there is nothing humanly wrong with humility. Humility is simply your awareness of what you are not.

hu·mil·i·ty :a modest or low view of one’s own importance; humbleness.

It is okay to embrace your strengths as well as your weaknesses. It is even more important to understand your strengths and your weaknesses. This is a part of the path to self-awareness.

And, as such, self-awareness is an important step towards discovering yourself. As part of this diverse world we will begin to develop through our experiences, thinking and beliefs. It is in this season that we either discover who are or we will become only a mere fraction of what our destiny encompasses. The greatest and most powerful discovery in this world is the discovery of SELF. I challenge you to BE YOU.

B- Believe in yourself

E- Expect to attract greatness to your life, encourage yourself and evolve

Y- Yearn for understanding, wisdom and knowledge

O- Own every decision you make in life with no regrets

U- Unification of mind: Align your thoughts to what it is that YOU want

We were all born with gifts, talents, and skills that the world is waiting for. Someone, somewhere, is in need of YOU. Do not count yourself out by thinking and believing that you are not good enough. Do not become that person to tell yourself that you cannot win. Do not give up on your dreams, do not give up on YOU. I call forth the authentic YOU to rise up and take authority. Do not get caught up in being someone you were never created to be. Accept who you are and be great. One thing about greatness is the fact that it cannot be explained; all you have to do is accept it. I challenge you to JUST BE. The universe will greatly reward you for it.
