I stumbled across the idea of self-actualization a few years ago in a self-help book and was always intrigued by it. However, a few minutes ago I just got it.
I think I've always required an enabler to function- whenever I would do something I always imagined another person in the back of my mind that I would focus on rather than being in the moment actively choosing my actions- I've always attributed what I've done to
someone or
something else.
Recognizing this naturally yields more responsibility, responsibility for my thoughts, actions, moods, feelings, etc. It's very individuating, really. I'm already thinking about how it's going to change my life, change my outlook on situations. I'm actually pretty damn excited to... actually, I don't even know but I am excited!
Has anyone else
had to realize this? I'm curious to hear others' tales of self-discovery & pillaging. Ok, no destructive looting but how about self-discovery?
