How to Discover your True Potential?

In this video, we explore the literature in the humanistic psychology school that can guide us in finding our purpose in life. As we saw in the previous videos, finding our purpose and living authentically are key to a happy and meaningful life.

To properly understand the concept of purpose, we examine the two founders of the humanistic psychology school, Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers.

Maslow's concept of self-actualization represents the highest form of human development, where individuals strive to fulfil their highest potential and become the best version of themselves. He expressed this idea in regard to the Hierarchy of Needs, where self-actualization holds the highest position.

Rogers' Actualizing tendency refers to an innate, fundamental drive within individuals to grow, develop, and achieve their full potential. It represents an inherent inclination toward self-improvement, authenticity, and the pursuit of personal growth and fulfilment.

After explaining both theories, we go through practical tips that could help us start this process and find our purpose. I finish the video by sharing my personal experience to give you a concrete example of how the situation can unfold.

Who Am I?
Hello everyone, I’m Moustafa and I sincerely thank you for being here. I'm happy to share my passion for philosophy with you through these videos and I hope you can learn something valuable from them. I aim to present philosophy practically, offering fresh perspectives and arousing your curiosity to learn more!

Philosophy shouldn't be confined to academia; since it enriches our lives and helps us navigate the complexities of the modern world.
As we embark on this journey together, my initial videos will delve deeply into the teachings of Stoic philosophy. From there, I intend to expand the scope by exploring various schools of thought, branches, and historical periods, including Existentialism, Metaphysics, Ethics, and beyond.

Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more enlightening content on philosophy and the art of living a meaningful life.

Thank you for your time

Great topic and efficient advice! I also agree more with Rogers, I think we all possess that fire within us but only a few have the courage to express it. I myself have always known my peak experiences but never took action to direct my life in this direction. Never too late 👍

Your work is incredibly authentic, and I resonated deeply with your words. Keep up the great content! Among the many videos I watch, your channel stands out with immense potential. The new thumbnails are an improvement, and incorporating more visuals or strategic cuts could help broaden your reach even further.
I'm curious about your beliefs and the driving force behind your pursuit of self-actualization. What do you believe in, and what motivates your journey?
