Self-actualization is the process of becoming all you can become.
Who is to argue that ultimately that is what we all need! ((There are two non-physical needs, according to Margoczi in the Feelings book.
- The need to fulfill others’ expectations of us, and
- the need to fulfill our own expectations of ourselves.
According to my observations, most of us confuse the two, collapse the two. We do not have any expectations of ourselves to become a millionaire, a billionaire, a president, or even pretty, or have six-pack abs. Our expectations of ourselves is to evolve ourselves to the level we can with what we have going for us.
The self that wants to fulfill our own expectation in ourselves is our real self.
The other self, the precious “I” self is the self that wants to fulfill others’ expectations of us. Societal norms, cultural norms, cultural hype. The should’s. The have to’s. The need to’s. The wanting to’s… The not self. The self that is greedy, chasing mirages. The self that is always afraid. The self that is never happy.))
Or if we want to go deeper, that need to self-actualization aka BEING is our soul’s desire… while our ego wants to own, to have and to control the environment, others.
So soul wants you to be… happy, fulfilled, vibrant… and the ego suggests that the path to happiness etc. leads through possession, aka control. ((
For now, I’ll leave that second way alone… even though I know that no amount of having, and no amount of doing will get to being…))
