All right, let's get to it.

Today, I want to talk about the power that comes from continual self-actualization. So what is self-actualization?

The term was made famous by Abraham Maslow. Maybe you've heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs pyramid. You know, what's interesting is that self-actualization is actually at the top of that pyramid.

So here's the definition of self-actualization. It's the desire to become the most that you can be. Now, according to Maslow, and I'm paraphrasing a little here, the final step to having all of our needs met, once we have, of course, the basics of food safety and friendship, is to come to terms with ourselves on issues like our morality, our creativity, our spontaneity, problem solving, having a lack of prejudice and accepting the facts.

Now, when you're in conflict with yourself or with society, what you'll find is the opposite of these, you know, like being immoral, unproductive, problem-focused, prejudiced, or just ignoring the facts. So again, being self-actualized is embracing the idea of becoming your best self.

Now, of course, there are lots of benefits to becoming self-actualized. Self-actualized person is independent.

You know, they're not a slave to the thoughts or opinions of others. They're comfortable with the unknown, they're compassionate and kind, and have an acceptance of everyone.

They also have a sense of spontaneity and aren't afraid to live in the moment. Self-actualized people often dedicate themselves to a higher mission or cause because they see a bigger picture.

Now, as you may have guessed, becoming self-actualized is actually a bit of a spiritual journey. It's a spiritual battle of your base forces against your higher forces.

So how do you become self-actualized? Well, first, there's no destination with this. And it's also not about perfection or attainment. It's a journey. It's a lifelong journey. I'm becoming better every day.

Now, I like to consider myself self-actualized only because I'm working at it every day.

Now, second, and this is huge, practice acceptance, accept people as they are, accept situations as they come up, accept the unknown.

Third, is lives spontaneously, really strive to enjoy each moment as it comes, especially the unexpected moments. The ones maybe you hadn't counted on.

Sometimes it's those surprises that we all get with. Sometimes we wish we hadn't that help us grow.

Fourth, appreciate the small things in life as often as you possibly can. The sun on your face, the hug from your partner, the smell of the air, the taste of your meal, all those tiny little things that we take for granted.

Start to acknowledge and appreciate them. And of course, you can only do that by living in the moment.
