Introduction
I have been doing a lot of introspection lately. Meditation, research and basically understanding how I work. I think this is something truly basic that has gone missing in today's world. A world that has formulas, sigma grind and other self-help materials available that seeks to provide a one solution for all problems. The problem is, that, there isn't one solution to all problems. The only solution according to me, is the solution you can find within you. And to find a solution within you, you have to understand who you are. Here's where my 3 step method comes in.

Awareness
Although, every step in the 3 step process is as crucial as any other. This, is where the foundation is laid. Here, it will be determined whether you have made an honest attempt, or just half-assed your way. Awareness is the key to understanding yourself. Being aware is simply, having a complete understand of who you are as a person. I am lazy, I don't like working out, I hate waking up early, I get frustrated easily. Being aware is observing yourself as a 3rd person, and realizing who you are, without reserving any judgments or biases.

Acceptance
When you are aware of who you are, and when you are in the process of becoming aware, there would be a rational part of your brain that would say, it's not true. I am not lazy, I just don't feel like working right now, I am not addicted to smoking, I just do it sometimes, etc, etc. That is your mind pushing against and fighting for you. Your ego won't let you believe things that goes against what you want to think you are. But, here's where the brain plays tricks on you to make you feel comfortable. Let go of that ego, and accept who you truly are. If you are lazy, you are lazy, no ifs or buts

Growth
Once you are aware of who you are, and accepted who you are, then and only then you have a true potential for growth. Because now, you know the truth. Now, that you know that you are lazy, and accept it, you can work on it to make yourself more productive. Until and unless you don't see reality for what it is, and let your brain wield the power, it will steer you into a life of comfort, which only leads to despair and depression. Become aware, accept that awareness and let yourself grow. That is my system for growth. The only way forward for you, is for you to know who you truly are.
