The Process Of Reaching Self Realization Actualization

By Sherri Cohen


Reaching a state of self realization actualization is probably the best thing for any human to do. There are so many individuals who have actually never harnessed their real potential because they simply have not discovered it yet. Everyone has a hidden power inside of them that will make them succeed in life. It actually takes a lot of time to uncover that certain talent that will help them build themselves.

Now before one even attempts to go on a soul searching journey for himself, he must first know the difference between self realization and actualization. Realization is the discovering of the true self. Many Eastern teachings believe that every human being has a purpose in this universe. The goal of the humans are to find out what their purpose is and strive for it.

Of course actualization will be the action that should be taken after the realization. Dreams without action will yield to nothing. That is why actualization will deal with making these dreams become reality.

The first thing to do would be of course to reflect upon life. The reason why many people have never reached this stage is simply because they have never discovered the things that they enjoy doing. That is why many people end up with jobs that they do not enjoy and thus do not perform well at it. So the first thing for one to do would be to determine what he enjoys doing and what he is strong at.

Knowing what strengths are should go hand in hand with knowing the weaknesses. It is essential for a person to know his weaknesses so that he can mature. His goal is to know the areas in which he is not very good in and try to cover those areas. The whole purpose of doing this is to not only minimize weakness, but to make his personality and character mature as well.

Do not think that this can be done in one night though. Many people take even years to reach this stage while there are a few fortunate ones who do not take that long. The best thing to do at this point of time would be to take a vacation alone and expose the mind.

When he has realized his true potential, then he must make a set of plans or goals. Part of actualization will be to focus on the methods and ways on how to achieve the goal. As stated above, dreaming without action will not produce anything. That is why one must study and find ways to reach his goals.

When he has taken action and has succeeded, then it can be said that he has attained self realization actualization. Take note that even after he has set his goal, he will not have an easy time. Succeeding in life will take a lot of time and sometimes bring a lot of pain. However, if one is resilient enough, he will get through it all.
