Why do you need to ask yourself difficult questions daily?

I swear to tell you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!

We all claim that we want growth. At the turn of every year, we vow to be different in the following twelve months. However, what tends to happen is we revert to our old ways.

This is what many of us are currently doing. Day in and day in out, we conduct the same behaviours, actions and thought processes whilst consuming the same media and information. Yet we believe change will miraculously occur.

Being unaware of your actions and the outcomes they cause can be detrimental to you and others. I’m assuming that you want to evolve and grow as a person? But how do you expect to bring your life's dreams to fruition without taking the time to evaluate and understand the world before you and how you exist in it.

A lack of self-awareness is the biggest hindrance to growth. Research shows that ninety-five per cent of us believe that we are self-aware. But in reality, only a mere ten per cent of us are.

Instead of trying to propel change in the world, why not look within. Ask yourself difficult questions that will lead to unexpected realisations. It's hard; nobody said it was meant to be easy.

But what would you rather, live the rest of your days fighting a losing battle or take the time to reflect and make adjustments for the war ahead?

Self-awareness is needed today like never before. The ability to look inwards and objectively evaluate your emotions will put you in good stead moving forwards. Such a simple feat can yield tremendous outcomes.

Dropping bad habits and discovering new ones is the key to growth. It's the key to moving forwards and leaving behind negative situations, friendships and behaviours. It’s never okay to exist, especially in today's world. Self-awareness is the key to unlocking things you never knew about yourself.

With an existential amount of environmental pressure, it's easy to get lost, deceived and misled. Develop self-awareness. Consciously take the time to evaluate past situations and put practices in play to deal with them if they ever arise again.

None of us has all the answers, but does that mean we shouldn’t ask questions to find them? Being self-aware will give you the tools to build new foundations to develop your mental fortress.

Please don’t sleep on the significance of self-awareness, for it can be and will be your saviour!
