Awareness Is Critical    

Today is going to be short and to the point. Yet it's probably the most important thing I've talked about.

What is awareness? If you were to ask me this question a few years ago I'd probably just give you a candid response like, "Um, it's when you notice something." Although it may sound simple I'd ask you right now are you really aware? I feel that awareness is only known once you truly feel awareness.

What I mean by truly feeling aware is a feeling you'll get that so strong in your gut, a sensation that will run through your body.  It's a feeling that will drive you either towards or away from something. It's challenging to explain, but I feel once you become truly aware you will know because the feeling will be unique to your body.

Once you become aware it's then and only then can you begin to make changes in your life that either draw you away from something you don’t want or toward something you want. Many times we'll say we want something, yet we’ll never do anything to change the habits that are necessary to get want we want. I feel it's partly because of the lack of awareness we have around that change.

It was yesterday that something happened in my life that made me really aware to something I was doing that could really cause lots of pain in my life if I didn't make a change fast. Although I've always known I was doing this, I never really understood the pain it could cause me if I continued doing it. I won’t share with you what it was I was doing. I’ll just say that when it happened I instantly felt an awareness and something told me, "Wow if I don't change what I'm doing NOW, I could run in to a lot of problems, and it could also affect others in my life."

The feeling of awareness made me realize that if I don't change right now what I 'm doing with an area of my life that my business could really suffer, my relationships

would suffer, and more importantly I'd not feel really good about myself.

Although I've been doing what I'm talking about for years, it took a higher level of awareness yesterday that pretty much said, "Yo Brian, this is not gonna work for you any longer. You had better change right now what you’re doing or you’re gonna end up not liking what's going to happen. I suggest you make a change now, not tomorrow, but you better do it now."

I talk about awareness because it relates to you in several ways.

You'll never change your income until you become truly aware. You'll talk about wanting more money, but until you get that feeling of true awareness, you'll never make the change no matter how many times you tell yourself you want change. You'll need that voice and inner knowing that says, " Hey You, umm making 60k a year is not gonna cut it, I suggest you go learn how to make another 100k a year if you truly want to be free. Because even though you make 60k and it secretly sounds OK in life you'll still lose your house. You'll still stress every month.  And you'll work until your 90 if you live that long."

It is higher awareness that will start the necessary change you'll need in life to have more, be more, and do more. Same thing goes with relationships. If you’re not happy with your relationships, youd better become aware really fast of what your doing to cause the bad relationship or else you won’t have a relationship.

All I'm saying is you need to be truly aware of what your doing in life that causes any lack in order to make true everlasting change
