#1440 - The Pain That Comes With New Awareness

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about painfully realizing your lesser-aware past self when you look back in the past, which is frequently accompanied by embarrassment or regret. They discuss embracing that discomfort and utilizing it to fuel your journey to self-awareness and growth. They delve into the heart of personal development and its life-altering power. They also unveil the responsibility that comes with awareness, especially regarding how we treat our partners, and they highlight striving for success rather than waiting for it to appear magically.<br/><br/>Links mentioned:<br/>Instagram 📷<br/>Kevin: https://www.instagram.com/neverquitkid/   <br/>Alan: https://www.instagram.com/alazaros88/   <br/>Podcast Growth University- https://www.nextleveluniverse.....com/podcast-growth-u <br/><br/>______________________ Website 💻  http://www.nextleveluniverse.com   The best way to track your habits is here!
