Modern Day Superpowers - 01

I admit I get wrapped up in external circumstances and stimuluses once in a while, but the truth is at this stage of my life, I've never been more well-versed in separating my own happiness with anything/anyone outside of my own mind & body.

I am always a work-in-progress, but upcoming posts are what I considered 'modern day superpowers' that I constantly seek resources to learn more, and practice more in my daily life -

Superpower 01: Self-Awareness

I cannot spend > 10 minutes alone with anyone who is not self-aware enough, period.

It's so easy to get drowned in your own head, your thoughts, your past experiences, emotional wounds, your upbringing, your preconceived notions about the world, your preoccupied thoughts about others, your limiting beliefs about yourself... the list goes on.

We all do.

But if you are not aware or refuse to recognize how your upbringing, past experiences and emotional history impact how you show up day-to-day, you already lost the battle of life.

Self-awareness enables us to take our power back from conditioned thought patterns and impulsive reactions as external occurrences evolve. It allows us to bring radical honesty, authenticity and a fresh perspective & possibility into the now.

It simply puts us in a better position to connect deeper with ourselves by examining our actions & thoughts objectively, without letting our subconscious default takes over.

In return, it equips us with the right attitude, open mind and heart to communicate and connect with those around us in an objective way they deserve.

As far as I can conclude based on observing myself and those who I respect & admire around me, self-awareness is the prerequisite to really live, grow, connect and achieve.
