This episode is episode #1 of a five day series I've decided to do on self-development and understanding yourself. 

Self-awareness is by far going to be the most important characteristic for you to grasp so make sure you listen to this episode over, and over, and over again until you know you have it. If you do not have your self awareness under control, you will never be able to move forward in life. 

Self-awareness is all about detaching your internal self from the external world. It is understanding who you are as a person, without factoring in the relevance that it has to the rest of the world or our perceptions.  This means knowing your personality, character, values, skills, abilities, and so on... without labeling them as good or bad. 

The reason self-awareness is so important is because it will be the difference between you expanding your limits and breaking out, and just being limited by those limitations. For example, if you are a terrible singer, but plan on being the next winner of American Idol... you are just wasting your own time trying to pursue something that you are not meant to be doing. You are running yourself face first into a wall when there is a door leading to massive opportunity just on the other side of the room. 

Is it all making sense yet?
