I agree to a large extent that self-awareness plays an important role in each & everyone of us. The importance of self-awareness is inevitable. Self-awareness as defined, a thorough understanding of who you are, your values & how you perceive the world. I'm very sure we have come by articles about teenagers suffering from anorexia that can cause death. These teenagers are too critical of themselves that they don't appreciate who they are.This is due to lack of self-awareness & self esteem. Someone who have self awareness & self esteem are full of confidence & feel comfortable with themselves, no matter how ugly they make look like or how fat they are. I believe that no one is perfect & being able to accept who you are is a great accomplishment. We will go through different stages of life & as we went through them, we will discover more about ourselves.We will discover something about ourselves that we may like or dislike. If you choose to be pessimist, you will never be able to accept your weaknesses. However if you are vice versa, you will love yourself & look at the bright side of your life. Life is a roller coaster. We face successes & failures in life. It's not easy to pick yourselves up after a fall & recover from it. That's when self esteem plays a part. I've felt both sweet & sour of life. I believe that every falls that you faced & being able to pick yourself up after that, you will eventually be a stronger person. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. & having wonderful people around you play an important role as well. Parents, of course, plays a crucial role in a child's life. I'm glad that i have supportive & understanding parents that are always there for me. Not forgetting, a wonderful bunch of friends as well.
Life is a road that i want to keep going. Bitter, sweet or sour, life is a wonderful journey if you enjoy every minute of it. Though life, like a road, isn't always smooth, we must go on in life because there's more to life than just unhappiness. Embrace yourselves & start loving who you are if you still haven't because when you manage to discover the real you, the feeling is magical. ((:
