As you grow in Self Awareness, you will better understand why you feel
what you feel and behave as you behave. That understanding then gives
you the opportunity and freedom to change those things you'd like to
change about yourself. OR, accept those things you want to keep.
Without knowing who you are, that acceptance or those changes become
impossible. Having clarity about who you are and what you want and why
you want it, empowers you to consciously and actively make those wants
a reality. Otherwise, you'll continue to get caught up in your own
internal dramas and unknown beliefs, allowing outside circumstances to
determine your feelings and what happens to you.
