Goal setting is where you want to go. Awareness is where are you right now? And you can't truly get to where you want to go unless you know where you are now. So think about if you're driving in a map, you're saying, Hey, I want to go to, I want to go up. I want to go down to the Maya, the Florida keys, wherever it is. Okay. Well, What if you don't know where you currently are?

How do you know whether to go east, west, north, south? It's pretty hard to know. So self-awareness is the epitome of wisdom, okay? And it's one of the most important. It's a cardinal virtue that we need to develop if we're going to grow to our highest level possible. By the way, there's some great research that shows that people that are the happiest do two things.

They're the people that serve others the most and the people that are experiencing the most growth in their life. and their character and skill. So if you wanna be happy, it's essential you do that, but it's really hard to grow unless you have a level of self-awareness. And I think that you develop self-awareness by thinking unbiasedly about where you are now.

And for most people, that's going to lead them to a great level of humility, of realizing that, you know what, we are finite beings in a vast, endless world. And we don't necessarily have to have a lot of meaning. And that's very humbling. But then there's a level of confidence that's built knowing that We're children of God created for eternal life.

And to know that we can literally alter the life of someone else, as we've talked about, we could say something mean and hurtful to somebody, which could cause them to take their own life or have a negative experience or whatever. Or we could say something to somebody that could save their life or cause them to go on to do great, meaningful things with their life.

So I think there's a level there of understanding at the simultaneously level We're almost nothing. We're dirt and we're mud. We're also eternal divine beings. You want to hold both things in your hand at the same time and be aware of yourself in that way. And some of the people that I respect the most, John, it's probably similar with yourself. they are the most spiritually and self-aware.

Like I'm thinking about pastors, rabbis, priests, monks. There's some of them where it's very hard to rattle them. It's almost like they're sitting there, they have a calm sense of spirit that's calming towards others. They ask, they see into your soul in a way, some of them even, that are really very aware. And so you could say something negative to them or hurtful,

And they're going to sit there without any expression change, or maybe the thing that will pop up on their face is a smile and say, they're going to be thinking more about hurt people say hurtful things. They're going to sit there and look at you and think, there's hurt in your life. How can I bless you? How can I love you and to help you heal?
