What is Something Most People Don’t Know?
The guide to self-awareness is observing your surroundings and self.
It’s taken me almost four long years of a painful relationship to begin my journey into self-awareness. Below are a few of what I consider essential life lessons.
- Conditioning: We are groomed at a very early age on what to think, say, how to behave, and live our lives with little thought of what WE want.
- Bad times: At the lowest point in your life, you will discover who truly cares about you.
- Approval: The majority of your life is spent seeking unhealthy approval from others. In reality, all you have to do is seek acceptance of yourself.
- Chances: You will spend a good portion of your life giving 2,3,4,5 chances to someone who doesn’t deserve an ounce of your energy.
- Childhood Trauma: We go through life, attracting the very people who will subconsciously teach us the most painful life lessons — lack of self-love.
- Acceptance: Most will stay in shitty jobs and shitty relationships while posting the American Dream on social media.
- Social Media: It is a world of delusion and Narcissism. Who can make their life/relationship appear better than the yours? False realities are born here.
- Fear: Most live in fear; fear of being alone, fear of what others think, fear of not living up to the societal and family norms. But in reality, we fear being our authentic selves.
- Self-Care: No one truly cares about you. Most care about the status symbols, but no one cares if you’re happy.
- Toxic People: You will love the most toxic person in your life the most. While telling others, they don’t understand.
- True Love: It does exist. I know it does. You will find it when you aren’t desperately searching for it. And a good start, is to begin with yourself.
- True Colors: When someone shows who they are with actions and not words. Please believe them. They aren’t lying.
- Life: It’s a game of trial and error. Some learn quicker than others, while others repeat the same painful lessons.
