Activity: Read the extract from GreatnessAwaitsbook and answer the questionsthat follow. If self-awareness is this important; at what point did man begin to lose it? To answer this question, we would have to go back to the first man Adam and see the state that he was in before he lost his sense of self- awareness. In the book of Genesis, we are told that Man was created with an awareness that he was to live like God. Genesis 1:27 says that “God created man in His own Image”. Corruption of self-awareness came when the deceiver came and suggested to man that he was less than who God had said he was. Satan who is the source of deception came and told man, “God knows that in the day you eat the forbidden fruit, you will be like God. Genesis 3:5 [Authors Paraphrase]. Adam yielded to deception and was literally convinced out of a state of self-awareness to the point that he started feeling like he was less than he actually was. He started feeding on what was on the outside to try to attain what he already had on the inside. Isn’t that what many people do? Because most people don’t believe in the greatness that they already have on the inside, they start engaging in illogical and immoral activities to try and achieve something that they already have.

Introduction. It is easy to think about other people’s weaknesses, strengths, failures and successes. It is always easy to tell others the truth than it is for us to tell ourselves. If only we could listen to the same voice that speaks about others and self introspect. Whatever lenses you are looking at others through, turn them around and see what impact it will have on your own life. Let’s journey together in this chapter. Self Introspection - Drawing Out Wisdom For Greatness CHAPTER TWO GREATNESS AWAITS WORKBOOK 3
- 7. “To achieve higher levels of self- awareness, you must demand of yourself to be a consistent practitioner of reflection, concentration and introspection” Coach Natsi Activity: Read the extract below from the book on The Pathway to Wisdom. And answer the questions that follow. Everybody desiresto be wise. You will never find anyone who growsup in life desiring to be a fool. We are created with an in built drive to desire not only greatness but also wisdom. The reason why most people are unable to transition to a place of tapping the wisdom within them isbecause they don’t ask quality questions. Dr. Mike Murdock once said that answers are servants to questions. If you don’t ask questions, then you haven’t created a pathwaythrough which wisdom and knowledge can flow into your life. Questioning revealsyour passion for wisdom and hunger for knowledge. The questionsyou ask will determine both the quality and longevity of your life and relationships. Remember that the key isnot to ask quantity [many questions] but to ask quality [highly intelligent] questions.

- 8. 2. Your quality of wisdom will never raise above the questions you are willing to ask. True/False. Explain your answer. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …… King Solomon was a profoundly wise man. From his writings, we can easily tell that he was a man given to the exercise of introspection. In Proverbs 20:5, he said, “The purpose in the heart of a man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out”. Looking at this statement, it’s obvious that there is a treasure of wisdom and potential inside everyone on earth. The trick to maximizing it is developing the understanding to draw it out. It’s sad that many people go through life playing the victim and acting like they have nothing to offer. 3. What are your top 3 gifts? • • • “Anyone can count the number of seeds in an apple, but only God knows the number of apples in a seed.” Dr. Robert Schuler. 4.

- 9. Chapter 3 Self Confidence. - Do You Believe In You? Introduction. Have you ever imagined what people mean when people say, “You look like so and so”? Think about it they are only comparing the outward person they see. Have you ever thought about how unique and different we are, our hearts’ desires our hopes and fears and the dreams we have. The fact that an excellent creator creates you, by default means that you are an excellent creation. Author and bible teacher Max Lucado puts it this way; “You are not an accident. You were not mass-produced. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted and lovingly positioned on this earth by the master craftsman. Take a moment to reflect on the quote below. How true is this statement for you? What does it mean to you? “The greatest wealth is not the wealth around you but the wealth within you” Activity: The great self confidence question is “Are you comfortable being you?”We live in a world of “selfies” where people are consistently posting Images of themselves looking very happy. The unfortunate thing is that if You were to ask them how happy and how confident they are about who they are, they would give you a totally different opinion from what you see in the “selfies”. The selfies rarely project their self confidence. 1. Have you taken a selfie recently maybe with some friends or by yourself? Do you feel the image portrayed in that selfie reflects the inward image of yourself? 2. How have the comments from your friends about your looks, your behavior, the way you carry yourself, affected you lately? 3. How has the success of your peers affected the way you feel about yourself?

Chapter 4 Self Appreciation - Are you grateful for what you have? Introduction. As you read the chapter you realize that sometimes the challenges of life overwhelm us. We should not stop to remember or appreciate the great things that we have, the gifts, talents and capabilities. At times it is important to look at yourself and celebrate the great things and milestones achieved. It is our hope that you should be in a place where you appreciate the great good things in you, the opportunities that you can take advantage of.

She was overweight for some time. She went on a journey where one day she would run in one of the most grueling marathons ever. After losing a lot of weight and training, she entered this race.
