Ever felt lost or hopeless on your road to fulfilling your God-given purpose?
Have you ever asked yourself, “Why do I always make the same mistakes?”
Do you own your mistakes when they happen and fix them?
Today we’re talking about the path to becoming our best selves.
Today is for you:
In this podcast, I read the poem “There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk” by Portia Nelson. Click here to read it.
There are five stages of awareness that will help with our self-development so we can be our best selves.
No Awareness: You fall in the hole, but it’s not your fault. You’re a victim who takes forever to get out of the hole.
Low Awareness: You see the hole but pretend it’s not there. You fall in and struggle to get out because you’re blind spots prevent you from seeing you made your own problems.
Moderate Awareness: You see the hole but fall in out of habit. You see the patterns so you can get out of the hole quickly.
High Awareness: You see the hole, make a different choice, and you go around the hole.
Very High Awareness: You take a different path entirely.
How can we use these stages of awareness to grow and become our best selves?
1. Become aware you have a choice
You’re not a victim. Take your power of choice back.
2. Uncover your blind spots
Blindspots prevent us from seeing how we make our own messes.
Just because we don’t see blindspots doesn’t mean others don’t see them. So if you’re unsure what those are, ask a friend for help.
3. Notice the patterns of your thinking, feeling and behaving
We take responsibility for our habits and then make a different choice to get out of the hole.
4. See the choice before you have to make a choice
When we become highly aware, we’ll see the hole and make a different choice to walk around the hole instead of falling in again.
5. Choose to walk a different path
When we’ve worked on ourselves, we get to the point where we just go down a different road entirely, avoiding the hole in the first place.
This takes the highest level of awareness and responsibility to reach this point.
Taking a journey of awareness, discovering our blindspots, taking responsibility and getting to the point we take a different path entirely, we become our best selves. This helps us stay on the path to living our best life, fulfilling our God-given calling.
