Awareness is the greatest agent for change.
~~ Eckhart Tolle
He knows not his own strength who hath not met adversity.
~~ William Samuel Johnson
He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.
~~ Lao Tzu
Whether you self-isolated, or you were out doing direct action, or were an armchair activist, the events of the last year have pushed many of us outside our own comfort zone. What have you learned about yourself during the last year and how did you come to that self-awareness?
