living in now

control

people lie to themselves

thoughtkick:

“Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves.”

Don Miguel Ruiz (via perfectquote)

self-awareness

is not self-consciousness

know thyself

it is the beginning

of wisdom

and a lifelong task

because we hate

to face our own ugliness

self-consciousness

seeks to manipulate

and control

how others perceive you

out of insecurity and

desperation to be

liked, accepted, validated

as a substitute

for genuine self-awareness

acceptance, understanding

growth, and change

validation anger path of growth lessons attention peace self discovery journey codependency perfection worry reality healing personal responsibility cooperation self deception supply relationships attachments weakness pain breathe meditation self acceptance externalization adapt forgiveness worth triggers subconscious magnification anxiety intrinsic change now authenticity strength self reliance projection resetting trust self love people pleasing toxicity judgment actions complaining self awareness insecurity self programming reset flow disqualifying the positive impermanence insanity dependence breakup conscious living commitment self consciousness momentum self forgiveness appreciation reactivity centering communication struggle grounding suppression detachment celebration self control response existing natural hope initiative personas truth growth choices boundaries destination contentment death present abundance acceptance self definition grief honesty setbacks definition trauma consistency triggered life manipulation narcissism cognitive distortions stuck in your feelings beliefs happiness compassion love attachment solitude vulnerability thoughts challenge expectations damage respect connection bitterness self talk hurt isolation resentment wisdom challenges goals responsibility mistakes choice soul death intimacy gratitude belief safety counterdependence understanding kindness grace support rabbits stumbles self care openness care action feelings delusion progress freedom control failure denial persistence success consequences processing condemnation perception self knowledge accountability blind spots suffering convictions mindfulness learning expectation focus mindset unstuck fear
