As long as we continue to breathe, we will all have challenges. Overcoming our challenges is what makes life both interesting and well…challenging.
We tend to find varying solutions to our challenges, many of which the school of life teaches us.
These solutions may seem random when compared to the previous ones we used; however, they do have an underlying commonality in their birth. It is the purpose of this article to draw your awareness to what is the common denominator of all these solutions.
Solutions to problems are often born out of deep contemplation and often flash into our minds. They feel intuitively ideal, when they do.
The common denominator is awareness. Being aware, is the initial step to progress in any challenge, endeavour or goal you might have.
Become aware.
AWARE---that is to say Accept Willingly All Reality Empathetically.
Be accepting of the situation and circumstances.
Do this willingly, that is do not resist or ignore your issue/challenge.
This mindset is to be applied to all of your knotty challenges/problems/conundrums.
Handle your challenges by asking what is the reality of things.
Be empathetic and kind to yourself so that you can see and accept your situation.
Use your emotional and intellectual intelligence to get to the heart of your challenges. Contemplate. Deeply.
Awareness is an overlooked aspect of overcoming challenges. Let’s look at a few examples below:
To be grateful for your many blessings, you must be aware of them. Gratitude requires awareness. To improve your marks in school you must be aware of your study habits in the classroom and at home. Good marks require awareness. To excel at your career or business, you must be aware of the key skills you need to address. Career/Business success requires awareness. To be healthy you need to be aware of your diet, sleep, exercise, and stress habits. Good health requires awareness. Once we are aware, we can start to see the obvious next steps.
Don’t despair, become AWARE. Beware of not being AWARE.
Accept willingly all reality empathetically so as to advance yourself. You are not an average person if you are reading an article like this, in this day and age. You are one of the seekers and an obvious winner. By becoming
AWARE you will separate yourself from the crowd.
