Nagpasingod sa pagka-marajaw…
One
of the main reasons why we do the things that we do is to improve ourselves. We
are constantly aiming for a better US.
The
psychologist Carl Rogers mentioned that our personalities are composed of a
“real self” (who we really are), and an “ideal self” (who we want to be). He
posited that we are constantly motivated to pursue behaviors that bring us
closer to our ideal self.
Given
this thirst to personal development, the individual must have a strong sense of
self-awareness.
Self-awareness
is the ability to perceive and understand the things that make you who you are
as an individual, including your personality, actions, values, beliefs, emotions,
and thoughts (Cherry,2023).
There
are many different ways to think about self-awareness, but four keys that are
often mentioned included mindfulness, self-compassion, reflection, and
feedback.
According
to verywellmind.com, mindfulness allows people to become more aware of
themselves in the present, while compassion allows them to do so without
passing judgment on themselves. Reflection and feedback allow people to take
what they have learned and improve themselves in order to achieve their goals
and reach their full potential.
Thus,
it is more productive to focus on self-improvement rather than try to change
other people. Changing them is impossible. They are the ones in control of
their lives and you have your own control over yours.
Someone
who lacks self-awareness does not understand their own thoughts and feelings or
how other people perceive them. People who lack self-awareness always have to
be the center of attention, be in control, and frequently make negative
comments without a filter (Mueller, 2023).
We
are works in progress. Our personal development is our personal effort.
Choosing how to react on others who lack self-awareness is a victory on its
own. Reacting negatively to their disorganized thoughts might affect the
journey to a better self.
Lurking outside your sphere of influence curtails progress. Focusing on your personal development leads you to a better place.
