I’m currently reading an amazing book called The Monk In The Corner Office by Gopi Krishnaswamy- and I’m loving and revelling every bit of it. Not the necessary tradition we need to hold on to and nor the modern monk stories we have deeply tuned into in quite as while, until I read this book – with a perception (not truth) unique to me.
Sometimes, the words we tell or call ourselves begin to make its beautiful, dutiful manifestation.
So we should be rather careful and conscious of about what we utter so spontaneously.
The book mentioned about self-awareness and the very deepening of it. Questions like ‘Why did this happen to me; should be justly and gently quelled with ‘What I did I do in this situation’?. And this is how we widen and deepen our self-awareness, when the very reigns of reasoning and accountably and our micro contributions leave us in good stead. The result? Wise patience comes into our aperture to unearth our many versions and dig out the best one to hold on to.
Now let’s forge some gearing for self-consciousness – rather an external affair, right? While self-awareness ushers an inward journey, consciousness by its very virtue helps us shape the external environment so we can consciously tend to it.
A solid perception here: we need to regulate our conscious being by the truthful amalgamation of self-awareness and self-consciousness.
And when we consciously make choices and informed decisions embracing our heart and mind into the qualified consensus we also need to be kind, caring and compassionate to us. Everything looks flailing when we don’t concur to our compassion – of first caring for ourselves so that we can be more useful and helpful to the people we love and care for.
So when your self-awareness includes shaping a conscious story for your audience whilst caring for them – you know you are on the right personal branding compass that’ll leave your imprint on this world by making this world a better place.
