Self-Awareness...

I think there is a point in your life when everything changes - when you understand how to achieve your goals, what happiness is (and isn’t), who you do (and don’t) want to spend your time with, and you understand what is important in (your) life.

That point is when you become aware of the self - when you realise that everything external to you is outside your control, that your thoughts are just thoughts, and that you can have and do anything, provided that you are willing to put in the time and the effort.

It doesn’t suddenly make everything easier, or make your problems magically disappear, but it does mean that you can start achieving everything that you want to achieve….
