There are a few basic features that distinguish humans from all other living creatures. The two most important of these are willpower and intelligence! The only being who can weigh himself in every sense, who has an idea about what he will do, and who thinks that he exists not only to live but also to keep alive, is only human beings. Therefore, the human being not only continued his life; He also thought about why he lived, the meaning of life and where it came from. Since its existence, although needs such as nutrition, shelter and security have been sufficient to survive, they have not been sufficient to complete itself. Many phenomena such as myths, religions and art are great concepts that emerged as a result of man's search for meaning. The essential thing for a human being is not only to be connected to life enough to breathe, but also to understand it completely. I guess this search for meaning that humans have been in for centuries is not just an empty thought. Positive sciences such as philosophy and psychology have also shed light on man's quest. In addition, sciences such as mathematics and geography emerged as a manifestation of this search, even though they seem to be aimed at making human life easier. So, what should a person do in his journey of searching for himself, while a whole humanity is chasing this meaning and has raised the bar so high?
Even now, there are eight billion people living on earth, and if we consider the past, this number is quite high. is increasing. Every person who comes into the world has had a life different from that of all other people; With different experiences, different habits, people have behaved uniquely in everything about life. Just as he is unique as a species, he also lived a unique life as an individual. Naturally, the habits and norms of the culture in which each individual lives; Even though the family structure and understanding affects the family at some point, the individual has the chance to create his own character and world. Physical deficiencies, cultural pressures, economic inadequacies; It should not prevent people from creating themselves. Ultimately, these factors are events that occur independently of us and beyond our will. A person completes himself with what he can do, not with what his will is not capable of. People who are lucky in terms of creation can live a mediocre life and end their lives in misery. r. At the same time, there are those who escape from all the seemingly difficult conditions and have an enviable life adventure. The important thing is that we fight against all negativities to make the ideal life come true, instead of hiding behind the circumstances we have no control over and looking for a cover for our failure or laziness. For those whose ideal understanding of life is not the concept of money, the end of this journey sooner or later ends in victory. Self-actualization depends on the realization of ideals that are too expensive to buy with money. It is a state of finding oneself. The fact that people who are born economically lucky often leave this world in misery is a proof of this fact.
Self-Actualization does not mean pursuing daily and material pleasures or receiving praise from people by constantly achieving something. On the contrary, it is a situation where a person turns to himself, knows himself, defines what he wants and devotes his life to it. A person should know that he will exist with what he expects from himself, not with what is expected from him. In this way, he can live a regretless life and at the end of his life, he will not regret almost anything he has done. Because every step he takes throughout his life is seen as a brick in building himself. First of all, a person should know that the life he lives is only for himself and should be able to say that if he were to come to life again, he would live the same life again.
