There are several things in the course of life that make a person get more aware. This is not an exhaustive list, but it’s got some of the key ingredients:

It’s healthy …
to not know everything.
to ask questions.
to look things up.
to not have an agenda with others.
to have inner confidence.
to not let his/her ego get in the way of work. (See more below.)
to not be right, but to be kind.
to let things go.
to neither be passive, nor aggressive.
to take a stand on inner truth and not have anything to prove.
to live simply
to be natural
to follow your heart
to do nice things for people without any thought of what’s in it for me.

What is good work? It’s listening to intuition, being free of fear (of what others will think). A heart follower, rather than a show-offer.

These are some of the things that I do my best to live by. And when I fail or think otherwise, do I beat myself up? No. I just apologize and do it again, or check myself and proceed with these guidelines.

Be your own friend.
