-What is Self-Realization?

One needs to have a certain set of needs met before achieving it.

Unfortunately, this ends up happening with many people, which leaves very little opportunity for them to maximize their potential.
In religion, the concept of Self-realization is taken from a totally different perspective.
It is believed that your truest self is an eternal being that is not confined to the physical void that your mind and body fill up.

2) Self-Realization is a Journey:
I call it a journey because it is not a once in a lifetime event.
You need to practice it everyday.
As you know, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Set aside 10-15 mins a day to think about what is it that matters.

When you turn this practice into a habit, you'll be guaranteed to reach a step closer to your end goal.

Peace.
