Awareness of what you like or dislike about yourself is the first step to developing a clearer sense of who you are.  How you see yourself contributes to your attitude and whether you accelerate or hinder your own life learning.  As you grow to feel grateful for all your experiences,  you will also see open-ended benefits in the following:

• Concern yourself more with making others feel good about themselves than making them feel good about you 
• If you're unable to clarify your vision in ways that motivate yourself and others,  then  its time to revise it         
• Raise your awareness about issues you need to know, not necessarily about what you wish to hear
