One of the first essential steps to wisdom is awareness. Awareness of yourself, of your strengths and gifts, of your weaknesses, of your past, of your perceived future.

And what does this awareness do?

1. Awareness brings healing.

2. Awareness brings acceptance.

3. Awareness brings gratitude.

4. Awareness brings love.

Through awareness, you discover the meaning of life, of what you've done, and of what you could still do.

What will you do?

After realizing how much you are loved, and how safe you really are. After realizing your powers and how everything is really just within your reach, what will you reach for?

We can be too overwhelmed and easily spring back to the comfort of unbelief. We can start allowing our fears to grapple us and make us believe we're not worthy of it all.

But we can also fight to claim what we have found. We can rest assured we're in the right path, guided by a Hand that will never let us down. We can start our journey towards courage and protect the priceless treasure we have found.
