Learn to Be Aware

Learning to be aware of who we are and why a tremendous part of a recovery of life journey is. To do this, there is nothing better than a thorough working of the 4th step of the 12 steps.
Going forward, we must make sure we stay in contact with “self” in an honest fashion each and every day. We must stay fully aware!

"You can live a lifetime and, at the end of it, know more about other people than you know about yourself."
-- Beryl Markham

Who am I? To answer this, we must first learn to become more aware of ourselves. To be aware, we must STOP and PAY ATTENTION! We need to STOP and objectively watch ourselves in action.

We live most of our lives by habit. These habits keep us stuck in patterns that limit our experience of life. Once we detect a pattern we were previously unconscious of, we can choose differently, if we want. With awareness comes choice and with choice, we gain freedom.

"To be authentic is literally to be your own author ..., to discover your own native energies and desires, and then to find your own way of acting on them." -- Warren G. Bennis

"Self-knowledge is the great power by which we comprehend and control our lives." -- Vernon Howard

You’ll be amazed at the fascinating person you are when you stay fully aware of self, not others. Interested in discussing this further? Contact through www.hopeserenity.ca.
