self”-actualisation/“self”-help is not only about the internals

[Baldmunt]

Hey Guys,

Today i had an greatful insight that really opened my mind. At the moment i’m in a job that don’t make me happy. I could not express myself fully because i thought people would judge me because i have other values and was not really aligned with the purpose of the company. So this week i got the message that my contract would not be extended.

For me, it was no surprise. I knew throughout self-help that this was not in line with my life purpose. So i was already looking forward and applying to new paths/careers which would fit better. 

So it came as a relieve. Finally i was able to show my real colors, to express myself fully to my collegues which i did not because my fear of being rejected for my own thoughts and believes. 

It came as a surprise that people did not judge me as bad as i thought they did. They really went emotional when i told this stuff. All the time they did not see me. I had a lot of conversations but they were so involved with their own problems. Once i opened myself up i finally felt that connection which i missed all the time. And i finally became to realise this is what they wanted from me to show. 

Im really working on myself to become better to understand someone else his motives (stage yellow) and try to apply them in my own life. I see myself as someone who is more aligned with green and the company im in was a lot about orange values. 

So today came my greatest insight. Self help isnt only about working on your inside world changing your view. It is also about the outside. Since we assume that everything is one. (I am not to that point yet) speaking yourself out to the world is also self-help/self-actualisation. Because the outer world IS ourself, despite the name self suggests that it means only you.. your identity. Wow... Leo might be true after all.
