Principle of Self-Actualization

             "We only believe as deep as we live,
               and a deep man beleives in magic.."

                                                       Emerson                                                                                                                                                    
Whenever we're faced with difficulties, one of the things
that can help us is to learn "what works" for other people.
That's what distinguishes self-actualizers. Abraham Maslow,
the psychologist who coined the phrase "self-actualizing,"
felt that the words "growth-motivated" were more accurate
in describing what makes their lives so successful because
they're always learning and growing no matter what happens
Self-actualizers are people who simply never stop growing.

The principle of Self-Actualization says that,  "No matter
whatever the experience is, try to get the learning from it."

The ABCs - The Attitudes, Behaviors and Characteristics -
of people whose lives increasingly go well invariably comes
down to being "learners". They learn to handle any problem
they encounter in life, and as a result, they keep moving to
ever higher and higher levels of mastery over life.

Whenever they find themselves in unsatisfactory situations,
relations, jobs, etc., they tend to see it as a challenge, and
they go to work to learn how to get free of the problem
so they can move on to a new level in life. So can you, by
learning what works for them and seeing if it works for you.
