AWARENESS

I'll start by giving a simple definitions of the word as well as synonyms. Awareness is "having knowledge of". From there comes a wide assortment of synonyms like consciousness, cognizance, informed, knowledgeable etc... Awareness defined is a combination of all these synonyms. Cognizance is the range of what one can know or understand; range or scope of what is perceived. Consciousness (my favorite definition) is clearer and says "an alert cognitive state in which you are aware of yourself and your situation". Of course here I will not write only about self-awareness but other kind of awareness too. We start with ourselves and can go as far as spacial and temporal awareness.

Awareness is an attitude we need to develop. We can be aware of a lot of things surrounding us but never of all at the same time. We can learn to be more aware of things that we take for granted or ignore and make this practice a habit. Just as we make a habit a late night snack or orange juice for breakfast we can make awareness our new habit. We have the mental potential to do it, and get positive results from it.

What this blog is about.

I have always believed that one of the biggest problems in our society is self-awareness. People live their lives aimlessly without knowing who they are or what they want. Living to fulfill the expectations of a society, a group of people, family or friends can upset the balance of our future. The decisions we make can be made once and sometimes twice in life, so it's best to be sure of what we want, who we are and why are we they way we are. This self-awareness, to be conscious of who we are and then be able to make the right decisions is what shapes us and the whole world.
I will add here (in no definite order) my opinions and thoughts in certain aspects of life but always pointing out that self-awareness (to be aware and conscious of ourselves) should be our first step before doing anything. Aware of our strengths, weakness, abilities, rightfulness , wrongfulness, other people, nature and so on.
