For some reason, we Humans are currently at the top of the food chain.

We are not the strongest or fastest creatures on the planet, nor the sturdiest, but we still made it to the top with our rather frail bodies, compared to every other food-chain-contender.

And that is because we humans have one huge advantage above every other living being on this planet.

While every other animal follows their instincts, while they only act on their urges, desires and basic instincts, we humans have enough brain power to do one thing they cannot:

We have the power to be self-aware.

We are aware of the choices we make, aware of our weaknesses, strengths and aware of what we can do to better ourselves.

If we can elaborate and master this trait, if we can use that self-awareness in the right way, we will also reach the top of the human food-chain, or rather, the success/life-chain.

Most of us are currently only following our urges, desires and basic instincts. We want something and we get it as soon as possible.

This leads us to procrastinate, spend money we don’t have and be incredibly un-self-disciplined.
