Awareness is the first step in the creation process. As you grow in the self awareness process, you will better understand why you feel what you feel, and why you behave as you behave.
This understanding then gives you the opportunity and freedom to change those things you would like to change about yourself and create the life you want. Without knowing yourself, self acceptance and change becomes impossible. Who is the expert?
