Author Belinda Wallis explains that awareness refers to your ability to consciously and objectively observe yourself with compassion and understanding-but without judgment.

You can reveal your own true greatness, unwrap your inner talents and gifts, and learn how to share them with the world from a place of love and joy.Shifting from an ego-based and fearful mindset to a more loving attitude can help you in numerous ways. Before you can truly make any meaningful changes in your own life, you need to be aware of who you are, how you think, how you feel, and how your actions impact not only your life but the lives of those around you.If you seek the key to personal awareness, happiness, peace, joy, love, and acceptance, look within; the answers you seek await.
