How Self-Awareness Shapes Every Decision You Make [The Zebra Code]

This week’s a special one.

I’m going back to one of the most important lessons I’ve ever taught. 

Self-awareness.

Not the generic, “journal your feelings” kind.

I’m talking about a powerful, real-world framework that shows you where your life is out of alignment. 

Most people define self-awareness as “knowing yourself.”But there are actually two types:

1. Internal self-awareness: How well do you know who you are?
2. External self-awareness: Do you understand how others perceive you? 

Both matter. A lot. 

And most people aren’t nearly as accurate as they think.

That misalignment causes stress. Bad decisions. Unfulfilling jobs. Relationships that drain instead of energize.

In today’s lesson, I walk you through the six pillars of self-awareness. 

It’s THE practical way to measure whether your life, work, thoughts, goals, and habits are aligned with the person you say you want to be. 

This isn’t theory. It’s a diagnostic.And it’s going to help you course-correct in a powerful way. 

If your inner and outer life feel even a little out of sync… this one’s for you.
