A lot of successful people sell the idea of “actualization” as something you can walk right into.
You’re likely familiar with their notion– imagine who you want to be, then act like it.
As your experimenting representative, of course I’ve already tried this method and want to share with you what I’ve found….
in short, it is total kaka.
Your ideal, perfect self, higher you, whatever you want to call it– isn’t something you walk into. Although we all have super powers of imagination– you can’t pretend your way into a new life.
BUT the law of attraction? I know.
Not saying you don’t have an ideal to reach–only that you can’t randomly masquerade as them. Because you don’t know them yet– you don’t know your potential.
So, the start of this isn’t make believe rather It’s something you communicate with.
It’s helpful to understand you are a multifaceted individual, with many different wants and needs– and sometimes those desires conflict.
So instead of imagining a bullshit higher self that you keep pretending to be– and fail to be, get to know the citizens of your city, because they are very real, and they’re with you every step of the way.
Your mind is comprised of all these citizens, all have wants and needs and dreams– the key is to find the north star. The one unifying belief they all share– the one goal they all need and agree on.
This resolves all conflict, and will move you forward.
I tried to be a person who doesn’t have internal storms– who isn’t moody. Because that was my ideal, but pretending only made the storms even worse. So not only do I despise advice of “aim for your ideal” but I stand against it because it doesn’t work.
The key here is leverage.
I can direct those storms, I can ride them and make something of them.
You have to find your Storm Drains– a place to channel your energies.
I’m learning to write every single time I go through it, this way I can empty my mind and create something from the chaos.
This is the key to actualization– it is using everything you have and are, because you have it for a reason.
Quit fighting it, channel it– direct it.
