Self-Love And Self-Awareness

I would Like to introduce myself from a point of view of knowing oneself to my readers

I am  short (about 3.8 ft tall), astute, intelligent, beautiful, soft-spoken, strict and an open-minded lady. I am dark in complexion, and possess dark hair features and long bulky hair. I am a first born with two sister siblings with no brother. I am sociable and enjoy learning new languages, international law and relations. I am also a writer and a poet as a hobby though I plan to move these to a more professional level. I am also a dancer and a singer and a netball player. I enjoy reading novels and watching films though the former interests me and engages me more than the latter and as a result I am currently working on a book on my own personal poetry compositions and a book on my life story. I see myself as a leader and believe that I am able to work in a team when subjected to any task. I am also aware of my weaknesses and this include not meeting deadlines and I set strict targets to improve my ability to finish work that I start. Born as a first born I also have a weakness of not consulting and therefore I tend to make decisions based on my own approach and rarely consult; I have however realized this to render me biased and I am currently learning to consult. I have been able to realize all this through a Life Skills Training that I attended late last year and I do a self check on my progress on a weekly basis. I love myself and I have set goals that I strive to achieve; thus in five years I see myself as an independent person in terms of financial capability and have a purpose driven life. 

In brief, I am trying to explain what self-love and self -awareness means. I have realized that these two are key to any person as it would be pointless to proceed with a life that has no purpose if one does not reach a point of self-love. 

Love thy neighbor as you love thy self.... Do unto others what you would wish done unto you

Self awareness helps to build one's self-esteem. In order to do this I break down this into 9 sub-headings that I intend to talk about in my next nine preceding discusions
As a result the nine are questions that I would like you to ask yourself as we go through the journey together
In order to walk together; I would like to ask you to "keep a personal daily journal". Any person who believes in simple abundance should remember to journal about their lives and experieces.. I at times peruse my own past entries and Wow! I end up laughing alone at the troubles i wrote or a short fling I once had or about my goals and hey "it helps me keep in track with my life"

 thus ask yourself the following as you will include them in your journal

• What do you want in your life?
• What are your strengths and weaknesses?
• What motivates you and makes you happy?
• What do you want to change about yourself or about your life?
• What are your achievements so far?
• How do you relate with others?
• Do you need to improve as a person?
• What are your most important beliefs and values?
• How do you see yourself as a person? 

I would like to also note to my readers that self awareness and self love do not mean "being selfish". I will expound on this as we continue

I request that you and I reflect on this for the next few days when I shall discuss the above and how to realize yourself in the simple abundance journey that includes self awareness and self love

                                            All the best and Lets see how we do folks!!!!
