The story is familiar. The hotshot, super talented new employee gets off to a screaming start only to see his ego get the best of him.

The story of the Hare & the Tortoise is a classic that discusses why self-awareness, humility, and consistency win every single time.

This world is full of examples. Talent wins now, but the people that put in the hard work win big.

I'm excited about this episode. I continue to find my voice and am getting comfortable speaking my truth! Being authentic is the name of the game.

Self-Awareness gives us a clear perception of personality, thoughts, emotions, motivation, and beliefs.

It provides you the ability to recognize yourself as an individual. That is a big deal! We are not the people around us.

Being self-aware allows us to correctly identify our skill set. Correctly identify our emotions. Correctly identify our values.

It allows us to ACT instead of RESPONDING.

Being Self-Aware allows us to understand how our emotions impact our performance.

How can you become more self-aware?

Positivity is my thing. People often ask me how I seem so positive all the time.

Here is the secret: It is all about perspective.

Two things you need to know:

1. Learn to love the things you already have.

2. Immediately accept the things that are out of your control.

I didn’t think of these things. They are based off the Stoic Philosophy and I learned about them in a book called A Guide to the Good Life.

Read the book. Enjoy the podcast. Share with friends.

The goal isn't to be a certain way or feel a certain way. The goal is to understand what we are feeling and how we are. After we are self-aware, we can take steps and learn how we can help the people around us.

Emotional Agility, Growth Mindset, and Emotional Intelligence are all topics related to today's episode.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Shoot me a line @MrJacobEspi on both Twitter and Instagram.
