I was having lunch yesterday with my wife Jeanne, at a wonderful restaurant called Wildflower, in Prescott Arizona. Great food and friendly people. We were talking about self awareness and how essential it is to become your potential and have a handle on how you see yourself and the world.

A bit of an epiphany moment occurred for me as we conversed through out lunch and beyond…. “The reason why most people do not evolve and seem stuck in a rut (of their own making) is because they are just unaware of themselves and how they fit into the greater scheme of things” is what I concluded. Jeanne and I talked about it for the next several hours and then after dinner, for several hours more even as we drifted off to sleep that night. What if there was a way, that allowed people to “SEE” reality and themselves in a new way – a way to just become “aware” of how their paradigm and beliefs and their ego is what is holding them back from experiencing the best that life can offer. The moment you have a self awareness of this… is the moment you see what you need to do, to make your life better. That would be the first step in allowing one to become so much more than they can conceive of now.

As my Hawaiian friends would say… “Thats deep cuz”. And of course it is deep… cause awareness is at the core of everything. How can anyone become their best self, evolve their mind and consciousness – if they are not even aware of who they truly are and how they connect. If you operate your life as a “tube” – (just eating and shitting) spending most of your waking hours seeking simple pleasures – without any self awareness of how you truly fit into things, your life is more like a pin ball, being bounced around without having any will or control over what happens to you.

There is much more to this discussion, but I thought I would throw it out there. If you are interested…one of the best podcasts we ever did was on [Paradigm Paralysis ](https://mindwarrior.com/paradigm-trap/)that delves into this a bit. And Jeanne and I were so into our discussion last night we made a quick outline for a new book called AWARENESS – THE FIRST STEP IN KICKSTARTING YOUR PERFECT LIFE, that we plan to work on. I will keep you posted. Maybe you can help us write it – so tell me what you think please.
