Self Awareness And Standards (1996)

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down the power of self-awareness and the role that comparison plays in personal development. They discuss how standards shape motivation, why social media distorts our perception of “average,” and how to use comparison as a tool for growth rather than discouragement. Whether striving to improve health, wealth, or relationships, understanding your benchmarks can help you take action toward your potential.Learn more about:Monthly Meet-up #39: “How to More Effectively Manage Your Time” - https://bit.ly/3Dg0rmyNext Level Dreamliner: https://a.co/d/9fPpxEtNext Level Live 2025: Saturday, April 5th, 2024 (10:00 am to 4:00 pm EST)  - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/_____________________NLU is not just a podcast; it’s a gateway to a wealth of resources designed to help you achieve your goals and dreams.
