Fundamental of Character

Self
Awareness

Self awareness is something like a super power in today’s society of superficiality and narcissism.  In a culture that preaches unconditional self acceptance, the ability to see your strengths and weaknesses clearly is both rare and valuable.  It may not feel as good, but it is more useful.

What Is Self Awareness?

Self awareness is the capacity to observe oneself objectively.  This self perception has an impact on an individual’s internal state of being and how they interact with the external world.  In turn, this affects happiness, achievement, and other aspects of life.

My Experience

I’m climbing my way toward mastery.

More than anything, I just need a few more years.

I already have a fairly sophisticated system.  But for me, figuring out what I really want takes reps.

I use my goals to carve out a life purpose.

Points of emphasis respond to change in both me and in the world.  But all the while, they pull me forward.

I create goals then mold my character to the traits that those objectives require.  My goals help me discover the man I need to be so that I can do the things I want to do.

So far, they’ve served me well.  Long may it continue.

Good Life Foundation

Goals are fundamental.  They are an essential pillar of a good life.  Without them, it’s easy to get blown to and fro by the winds of the world.

Where Goal Setting Fits in a Good Life

Self Awareness is one of my Tier 1 Favorites.

That makes it an entrance to many rabbit holes.

Goals are one of the most important pieces of the Achievement puzzle.

For me, they’re a “Tier 2” concept, on the same level as Mindset, Habits, Growth, and High Performance.

It is also closely tied to practices like Journaling.

Self Awareness is one of my primary pillars of Self Mastery.

It has major overlap with others, such as Character, Happiness, and Personal Growth.  It also shares space with Mastery of the World pillar, Achievement.

Self Awareness trickles down into a variety of sub categories, already 4 or 5 tiers deep–and growing as does my knowledge of self.

Here’s a quick look at those.

It can manifest in both character traits and personality.

Self awareness is the ability to observe oneself.  Moreover, it is the degree to which one can observe oneself objectively.

ripples into various aspects of human like, such as relationships, career progress, entrepreneurship, etc.

 

 

The question is, compared to whom?

To some degree, self awareness requires comparison.  The context is necessary.  After all, it doesn’t matter whether you’re smarter than a lizard or stronger than a squirrel… it’s how you stack up to other humans that will determine how valuable you are/the quality of your life.

However,  

comparison to other people… rank order yourself… the context is almost necessary… but a personal growth agenda helps you redirect this to comparing yourself to who you were yesterday

reference point for your personal growth journey

 

.  In my book, it is one of the most important character traits.  Moreover, it is a worthwhile pursuit unto itself.  It ain’t easy.  But it has the power to make you a better, stronger person… key to personal growth, understanding where you are and where you want to go  

 

 

realize you don’t know everything… like when it comes to politics

 

 

studying human nature… evolutionary biology/psychology… its very easy to believe things about humanity/yourself that aren’t quite true… think you “know it” but you’re actually just “convinced”
