When the awareness of what is achievable brushes your life, your journey has begun.

Once you figure out what you want in life—expect nothing less.

Sometimes not getting what you want is a brilliant stroke of luck.

Needs cause motivation. Deep-rooted desires for esteem, affection, belonging, achievement, self-actualization, power, and control motivate us to push for what we want and need in our lives.

Awareness makes us emotionally brilliant!

If you can honestly say that you are fully aware of what you’re up against in life, you are brilliant. Being aware means you are informed―alert, knowledgeable, sophisticated―and you have the tools to visualize, strategize, focus, and win.

The more aware you are of life and its difficulties, of how people act and their effect on you, of your own quirks and how you handle both good and bad situations, the better off you are. But how many of us are that aware?

Remove the temptation to settle for anything short of what you deserve.
