Personal Awareness
The Personal Awareness CD, is a very powerful tool to make one take a look at him or herself. Mr. Parker, and Mr. Fulton did an outstanding job of covering various subjects pertaining to ones self awareness. As I listened to the CD I began to ask myself, who are you, and how do you perceive you? As they began to talk about being emotionally mature, I asked myself, am I emotionally mature, do I lead my life by emotions, experience, whats factual, or by rational. When does a man or a women reach total maturity in their life. You can be mature in one area, but child like in another, how do you know? Would you base it on important decisions made in your life, that affects you and all involved in your life? Depending on the outcome of those decisions, would this prove total maturity? Was those decisions made based on your emotions, your experience, what was fact, or by what was rational. Can a man or a women, lead a company or their own life responsibly without being totally mature, or is there even such a thing as total maturity, what do you think? When I am out in the world dealing with people, I tend to show a more serious side, and this is how people perceive that I am all the time, very serious. But in actuality, when I am at home behind close doors, I am always kidding around. I find that this is another way that helps me relieve the days pressures of life. Would you say that this makes me less mature, or is this a functioning mechanism, to help control my life, with the serious perception being a defense for me to conduct my life and business. Where does perception play into maturity? Just a thought. The CD really got my juices flowing, considering an abundance of questions. I really enjoyed it. (Ken S.)

Personal Awareness...better late than never...
Understanding my own personal awareness, and knowing that I will take myself to a level of success that hasn't been reached or exceeded by anyone in my family or close friends, I, in essence must take myself apart and build myself up into the CEO that lies within.
I must think, act, and view myself as a successful woman, sometimes that is easier said and thought, than done.
The topic on learning how to control my emotions is a powerful tool. Especially in a society where mass marketing is everywhere. I've read or heard somewhere, if you don't control yourself, the outside environment, whether it be the media, family or peers make their influence on you.
In an environment where family is so close knit and peers go along with the status quo, I tend to stand out from the norm, in the way I think and act. My struggle is breaking away from the comfort of being surrounded by the people I love most, my family, but knowing that I don't want the status quo lifestyle, because I am worthy and deserve a decadent lifestyle.
When I bought this PBS several months ago, like all my other motivational materials, I passively listened to the material several times and took bits and pieces from it and tried to apply those tools toward business.
Then one day I recieved an invitation from Lashana Jackson from Stellar Ent. to come to a meeting, the 1st time she called I forgot all about the meeting and I didn't make it. Lashana called again a couple weeks later to invite me once again to a CEO meeting. I thought to myself, since I'm in a slump, I'll go and check it out and network with other entreprenuers. On my way to what I thought was going to be a business mixer, turned out to be much more than that. Looking back now, it was a turning point for me, to really analyze myself, my priorities, my goals, and how and where exactly am I headed. And if I am surrounding myself with the right people.
So let me thank Lashana Jackson for keeping in contact with me and inviting me to join this awesome forum of like minded entrepruners. And thank you to Mr. Parker and the Stellar Ent. team for creating not just another bunch of motivational CD's, but for creating a powerful tool for personal change, personal growth, by understanding our own personal awareness.
As I begin this journey of truly looking deep within myself, it is a difficult thing to do, because that means exposing vulnerability, and finding weaknesses that I don't like to admit that I have, because I like seeing myself as a strong, independent woman, and capable of holding my own. Part of my journey of personal awareness is being honest with myself and recognizing my weaknesses, and not neccessarily "fixing" them, but analyzing them and maybe surrounding myself with people who are strong in that area, and learning from them.
WOW!!! I feel great!!! In the world of complimentary medicine, being a Certified Massage Therapist, we have a saying, that all healing is self healing. Being aware of ones self is truly healing.
