This thread is focused on what self actualization looks like and/or how to get there:

1: Training Your Perception Skills:

Ability to judge situations/people accurately and detect inconsistencies.

Helps to determine what is good for you and improve decision making skills.

2: Acceptance of Self:

Self-actualizing people can accept their nature, including their shortcomings and contradictions, without feeling real concern.

Cuts out anxiety and frustration from interactions with others and yourself.

3: Purpose Driven Focus:

They are more focused on problems outside themselves as opposed to personal issues (ego-centered).

They often have missions in life and tasks to fulfill that demand much of their energies.

Find Your Thing!

4: No Comfort Zones:

Self-actualization is a process, and it's a difficult one.

If you are "meant" to be a fantastic musician, you won't be satisfied with being just a decent musician or a decent leader.

Self-actualized individuals are constantly working to be their bestself

5: Deal with Psychopathology:

Part of becoming a better person means identifying and dealing with some of the least pleasant parts of yourself.

You're going to run into some defenses that you'll need to take down.
