Assets of self-awareness in helping others

Self-awareness is a tool of essence, as it invites us to observe, reflect, learn and grow to enlightenment of mind, body and spirit consciousness. Self-awareness serves as an asset  because it allows us the opportunity to watch the inner workings of our minds, the struggles we go through and the progress we make. 

I thought how may this reflect onto the lives that cross my path. The one who is struggling with self-acceptance, the co-worker who doesn't think she is good enough at her job, the student who is fearful she will fail, the friend who doesn't understand why she doesn't fit in. Then I realized that our experiences are what give us knowledge and anyone can pass this on to any living creature.  

In order for us to learn new and different techniques to support those who seek our help, we must be fully present in the way we think, feel and behave. Are we positive in our thoughts, do we treat ourselves with dignity and respect, are we compassionate towards others, are we quick to anger, do we commit to a meditation practice?   Do we live in love, compassion and self-awareness?
