Self-Awareness is a Superpower

The unaware are all around you.

The person who walks through a door, oblivious that you are right behind them, letting the door slam in your face.

The driver who cuts you off on the highway. 

Or the overweight person, eating junk food, watching TV, oblivious to the fact that they are destroying their health.

It’s not selfishness that drives these people.

It’s not even an entitlement or elite mindset.

It’s a lack of self-awareness.

The fact is, most people lack self-awareness.

They are completely unaware of what is going on internally — their thoughts, emotions and behavior.

They are also unaware of what is going on externally — their environment.

There are plenty of studies that support this  

There are even videos of people completely unaware of their external environment.

Here’s one I like called the bear on the porch.

Self-awareness, however, is a real superpower for the few who possess it.

Self-awareness allows you to recognize your own thoughts, emotions and behavior.

Self-awareness also allows you to see what is going on all around you in your environment.

Self-awareness enables you to pivot in order to avoid obstacles, pitfalls, mistakes and toxic people who get in the way of your success.
