How Self-Awareness helps you and Leads to Success

in life •  7 years ago 

Self-awareness is an important key to being successful in any aspect of life whether we talk about career, relationships, business or happiness. We do not become conscious of self-awareness in a snap. It is a whole long process that a person goes through in his entire life and there is no end to it.

Self-awareness includes the ability of the person to recognize and analyze one’s thoughts. It is the feeling of knowing what makes you feel good or what makes you tick. Success just does not fall out of the sky. It requires constant determination, effort and struggle to achieve your goals. Many times, we read thousands of success stories of entrepreneur and businessmen. We also want to achieve the same kind of success as they had but do not focus the hard work that they have gone through to achieve their dreams.

  • Success is Relative
    Every individual holds a different story. Each person goes through different circumstances and different situations. Success is basically subjective. When we are not self-aware, we always envy the success of other people and try to pull them down.

Success is a relative concept as it varies from individual to individual. Being self-aware makes you have your own idea of success in the first place. For some people, having a lot of money is the success while for others having five or six houses is the success. Some people dream of being debt-free while others long for health, happiness or peace. Similarly, different people achieve their goals or success in different ways. Some become successful in their early years while other people get success in the old age. The route to success is different for everyone. We cannot achieve success by creating hatred or by envying others.

  • Why You Should Become Self-Aware
    We all have different motivations, achievements, failures, strengths, motivation, and ideas. So, we all react differently to different situations. The more you get exposed to life, the more you adapt yourself to face the difficulties of life. When we truly know about ourselves and our attributes, we become able to analyze, learn and improve our lives.

The major aspect of being self-aware is knowing about your emotions. Many of us think that emotions are a big hurdle in logical thinking. Yes, being a logical thinker is essential for achieving success but we cannot eliminate emotions from ourselves. Showing your emotions is not weakness or thinking emotionally does not make you a loser. Emotions are what make us human. The only thing we should have in our personality is self-awareness to manage emotions and to develop persistence in order to overcome the obstacles. Self-awareness helps us in understanding our emotions instead of disregarding them. Becoming self-aware and knowing about your capabilities makes you a greater person and you do not work towards dragging other people down because of your jumbled emotions, actions or words.

I totally agree with you @jasimg that success is relative, the feeling that you are success will depend on your goal in life. Managing our emotions whenever we encounter obstacles is I believe self-awareness, and this helps in overcoming difficulties in life because we learn from them and create actions towards the improvement of our lives. By this we create a better version of ourselves.

Thank you for the excellent post. Self-consciousness really helps us very much in life

Self awareness, to me, is the ability to understand the responsibility I have in every moment to make a choice which will reflect the very essence of who I am. Because I am creating myself with every choice I make, it is important to be aware of each moment and in alignment with who I truly desire to become.
