I believe the greatest form of self-awareness is submission. When you understand your human frailties & predilections and you look to God for help, even as you take personal responsibility for your character. 🧵

I have seen too many people do the very things they preached against. So self-awareness is important, as well as awareness of others.

Generally, a lack of self-awareness means you will be completely oblivious to what everyone else around you can see. You exist in a self-righteous bubble, do things without asking for opinions and have a single way of doing things.

You choose not to accept when things get progressively worse and always rationalise outcomes.

The consequence of a lack of submission, is that even when people tell you the truth, you are too prideful to consider that they might be right. Even if you suspect they are, you don't know how to ask for help or how to be vulnerable.

I'm unsure what the end result will be. But I do know two of the side-effects are a lifelong struggle with meaningful relationships and the eventual stagnation of all you've worked for.
