Every journey starts with a destination. If we do not know where we are going, we will not know when we have arrived. To become a fully self-aware person, we need to first learn about ourselves. We need to be aware of our own personal values, strengths and weaknesses. We should be aware of our internal and external boundaries. If we know these things about ourselves, we can move forward in life. Having this information helps us to navigate the world, while having a clear vision of who we are. People who know themselves and are aware of what they need so they appear self confident.
But what is self Awareness? Self awareness is the internal and external consciousness of ourselves, and the knowledge of how we appear to others. A self-aware person operates with a clear understanding of themselves. The know what they think, and what motivates them . While they understand the importance of getting along they have an internal map, that keeps them on point. Because self awareness is an important trait we must develop, we will start our journey by looking closely at how to how self-awareness is developed, maintained, the costs and gains we get by having it.
