Self-awareness is Growth

Being self-aware and/or understanding ourselves is a central theme in every faith tradition. "Knowledge of one's own self is stated to be the most excellent among all things, for it leads to enlightenment" states the Hindu religion.

Our experience or our success in life is determined by our wholeness. As we become aware of self and make the needed adjustments in our lives, thoughts, and behaviors, we experience spiritual growth. This is often difficult because we are conditioned to hide our short-comings from others and from ourselves. This denial is a block to our success, our happiness and our spiritual progress in all facets of our life.

Becoming self-aware and making changes in ones life is simple but not easy. It takes courage and strength, but it is possible. When you do the work, your life shifts and miracles become your norm. It is soooo fun. It is worth the effort. I promise.
