A Guide to Self-Actualization on Your Journey of Growth

■ The End of Pinball Games

Author John Miles calls life, a dull, repetitive routine devoid of inspiration and focused only on what's visible and what's immediate, a "pinball game."
It was because life was like being shot without any particular direction, flying here and there as it hit objects in front of it, and eventually falling down.
A life like this pinball game can be said to be a life where we just live without any sense of purpose, caught up in trivial matters that deviate from our essential goals.
Meanwhile, the pinball game's controls, which involve shooting a ball and bouncing it back to prevent it from falling down, seem to represent a less proactive life.

And despite the common use of the expression, "I am the main character of my own life," we often fail to properly fulfill the role of the main character in our lives because we crave the approval of others.
This is also related to the growing trend of people losing their drive for growth due to repeated failures, let alone success, in these times of global economic downturn and growing uncertainty.
《Growth Orientation》 also expresses concern about this state of affairs, saying that current beliefs determine present and future life.
In other words, if you live your life giving up the initiative of your own life, there is a great risk that you will live a life being dragged around by something forever.
Here, the author emphasizes the need for a planned life with an expanded mind and an awakened consciousness.

The main factor that makes all of this life possible is a strong sense of purpose.
We each work hard to achieve our dreams.
In this process, some people achieve their dreams despite experiencing many setbacks, while others do not.
Of course, achieving your dreams requires effort and dedication, but the most important thing is a firm determination to achieve your goals no matter what.
This is the sense of purpose.
A sense of purpose reminds us of our essential purpose despite numerous distractions, and it allows us to remain true to ourselves by not giving up control of our lives.

■ Immerse yourself inwardly, radiate outwardly.

In “Growth Orientation,” we introduce specific principles and methods of growth for self-realization and success.
The overall content sequentially explains the changes in thinking and behavior patterns, and the principles and principles of growth.
Judging by this structure, it can be said that the beginning of growth is rooted in a way of thinking, and through practice, it progresses to reach the common principles of existing successful people.
In other words, we can say that thoughtless actions have no meaning in life, and that thoughts without action cannot guarantee success.
Ultimately, achieving the goal of true self-realization requires both inward immersion and outward expression.
Among these, the inner process refers to reflecting on oneself, calming the mind from distractions and all kinds of fears, and making a resolution to take action.
On the other hand, the actual steps taken to create a life filled with meaning through actions by accumulating momentary choices are the external process.
After this process, we will break free from the immaturity of focusing only on ourselves and face a new self that expands our horizons by looking at a wider world.

This pattern is common among innovative entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, and Elon Musk, as well as famous entertainers like Dwayne Johnson, Oprah Winfrey, and Thaddeus Bullard.
They too have practiced both inward immersion and outward expression.
Moreover, they were tolerant of failure, because they already knew that failure was not the end of a dream, but a process toward growth.
For example, Elon Musk has suffered several failures in SpaceX's spacecraft test launches.
Nevertheless, he continues to learn and challenge himself through his many failures.
This suggests that behind the decision to act, which is the starting point of growth, there is also a decision to accept failure.

■ The aesthetics of the incomplete and the finite

Our existence is finite.
Since we are beings whose death is certain from the moment of birth, we sometimes fall into a somewhat nihilistic mindset that all our efforts in life are in vain.
But we live in the footsteps of countless people who have left this world.
In this way, even though the existence of the world has reached its end and its essence has disappeared, the efforts and fruits of one's life will sprout in the world and bring abundance to the lives of those left behind.
This suggests that the death of existence is not synonymous with denial from the world.

Moreover, unlike the orderly laws of nature, our existence is imperfect.
For an incomplete being to dream of perfection is as impossible as trying to uncover the essence of an object.
Nevertheless, the lives of those who, despite death, pursued their ideals have been consistently recorded, even through the age of mythology and into the age of humanity.
Through this, mankind has honored their achievements.
We also feel catharsis from those who challenge the impossible and achieve their dreams.
In this way, growth makes the life and world of finite and imperfect beings shine more beautifully.

Of course, challenges don't always promise beautiful results.
However, celebrities who have achieved endless growth and become role models for many have continued to take on challenges.
They never stopped innovating themselves in the face of the finiteness and imperfection of existence, and the fear and futility of an uncertain future and failure.
Even after achieving success through constant struggles with themselves, they continue to show the world a path that will be remembered for their extraordinary methods.
The author argues that anyone can move beyond their current state and pursue a life of meaning, and that this is not just desirable; it is something that must be achieved.
So, from now on, let's each make small resolutions to live the life we ​​desire.
All the great growth we remember began like that.
