“Know Thyself: To become self-aware requires significant effort over the long haul, but the rewards can be nothing short of astonishing. When we are self-aware, we free up energy used to suppress uncomfortable thoughts, feelings and sensations. We act with conscious knowledge of our motivations and choices, with a focus on desired outcomes. Otherwise, we are acting out of unconscious motivations and/or patterns of reactivity. The more conscious we are, the more we are able to fine-tune our interactions with others for maximum positive impact! More available energy, more personal effectiveness, more likelihood of living the life we want – ancient wisdom.”
