This document discusses self-awareness and emotional intelligence. It defines self-awareness as the ability to focus on oneself and how one's actions, thoughts, and emotions align with internal standards. Only 10-15% of people studied have high self-awareness, which includes internal self-awareness of one's inner world and external self-awareness of how others perceive you. The document provides tips on developing self-awareness, such as creating time for self-reflection, practicing mindfulness, journaling, listening to others, gaining different perspectives, and opening one's heart.

2. ‘When I am inspired by some great
purpose, some extraordinary
project, all my thoughts break their
bounds. My mind transcends
limitations. My consciousness
expands in every direction, and I
find myself in a new great and
wonderful world. My dormant
forces, faculties and talents become
alive, and I discover myself to be a
greater person by far than ever
dreamed myself to be’.

yourself and how your actions, thoughts,

If you're highly self-aware, you can
objectively evaluate yourself, manage
your emotions, align your behavior with
your values, and understand correctly
how others perceive you.
