I don’t ever comment on things but I must for this. I have struggled with intense depression; even diagnosed with “treatment resistant” depression. I have been on so many medications and have been going to counseling for years. I recently shucked it all. I knew deep down my depression was not from some mysterious chemical imbalance but a deep hatred for myself that came from the potential I know I have that I feel I have wasted away. I quit meds, I quit counseling, I am chasing myself. I am judged by my own courts now. I am now on the hard road of real self actualization. Now my depression seems, though still there, somehow separate; weakening. I quit relying on a counselor to fix me, praying for God to make it easier, or waiting on medicine to cure me. While all those things are good I am sure now that I am my own cure. AOL has been helping me along toward this new flashpoint. Thank you for the videos. It indeed is never too late.

I'd say it was when I accidentally stumbled across Maslow and his work some 4 years ago that I began on my "journey." Comparing myself now to myself then shows me how far I've come, and kinda brings me a kind of peace.

Good luck, mates.

Self actualisation is being actually what one could be potentially. It brings more frequent peak experiences and makes one more resistant to social comparison hence anxiety. However, self actualisation is hard because most tend to choose the path of easy pleasure. When we succumbed to this tendency, guilt arises. However, this guilt needs not be seen as just a sign of mental weakness, but a call from our inner desire to self actualisation.

True happiness it's not about being perfect or famous or rich... it's about being self actualized

I needed to hear this. Several people I know also need to hear this….now I need to figure out how to delicately share this with them haha.
This is the first time I’ve watched your channel or even heard of it, but I wanted you to know I appreciate what you are doing here.

Maslow is my hero. I’m a student of counseling and a strong proponent of Transpersonal Therapy.

Social comparison is commonly found Among people of much low self esteem. Thus making themselves more depressed.

Wow. This was a very insightful explanation of why self actualisation is important. I agree with this theory because it is the experience in my own life. I’m not happy unless I know I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing and improving my gifts and talents. When I answer that tearing and that cry to be better, I find myself overwhelmed sometimes but then peace comes and assured me to keep going.

Finally after a lifetime of struggle, pain and humiliation I see myself as self actualized, creative and loving. Now to convince those I love that I am not crazy, Just self actualized!
