I agree that we should try to put away negative thoughts and not be greedy...But totally getting rid of them is impossible...I think we can get them under control though...Share what you have with others your music, your crafts, your money, your food... if you are rich or even poor... and don't let people let you get you down, just be yourself and don't let others dictate your future...be who you dream to be as you help other people become who they want to be too...aspire others to be to their full potential who they want to be... by teaching them how to give... and receive instruction in their life to be important people in this world as workers and givers of their talents to others to make this world a better place...take risk, earn more, share what you got...be yourself and change yourself to be better, not to be like ever one else...take the good with the bad...deal with the negative to appreciate  the positive...just like poetry, painting, playing the guitar, crocheting, etc...we can't live in bubbles and think that every thing is hunky dory and that being possitive all the time is going to make it all fine we have to "roll with the punchs" too...(negativeness)...If we were not in a negative world we would not need to look for positiveness... If it were not for negativeness we wouldn't have to look for positiveness...true??? 
When Yahoshua returns to earth with Yahweh's kingdom then all negativeness will be gone and we will live in a positive "new" world... keep hope alive!!!Welcome to Steemit !!!
As a minnow, I want success here and learn the "ropes" here but no one wants to teach me I have to learn on my own I learned if I upvote and comment on others post I get STEEM  and SBD and SP for upvoting and commenting on others post...again WELCOME TO STEEMIT!!!
(How can I get others here to read my post/blogs???)

"Self-actualization" in my Language you can call it αυτοπραγμάτωση (Greek) and it means the realization of man's spiritual, mental and physical abilities, as well as the sense of completeness - internal balance - created as follows!! So in the end i believe that is very very difficult to achieve it.. And the last thing I have to say is hope you can do it!! Very nice article!! Welcome to steemit!!

What is meant by self-actualized?  Great post, but I'm not sure I understand that term.  (oh and I'm satisfied...  so if I am satisfied I self-actualized?).

excellent post.

look at my last post: https://steemit.com/litecoin/@earn.moneynow/how-to-claim-my-litecoin-cash-in-coinomi how to claim my litecoin cash!

I do tend to think of the negative or possible obstacles when I do something, I need to try to change that. With Steemit I have been trying to focus all of my thoughts on only the positives since I am spending so much time and effort on here. I am keeping everything I earn and powering up for the foreseeable future. I am trying to forgot short term gains and think where Steemit could be in a year or two years.  Thanks for the reminder to continue to think positively!

Just wanted to say thank you for great content, this is truly the best post I've read since I joined Steemit just a few days ago. You're not only a great writer, but you content really speaks to me. I work in the field of personal development myself, and this was captivating. Thank you! I look forward to part 2.

it seems your real life, your thoughts describe it very well

Welcome to steemit. Good luck!

Thank you for these encouraging words and the wisdom, we all need to hear it again, and I wish you great success on your journey

Welcome to steemit, do not forget this, here is a place where you have to feel good... good luck in future !

great insights! I am huge believer of self-actualization and really think people sometimes forget to make time and effort to really invest into something that would make them feel more fulfilled and that is a shame.

Nice post, mainly this last part. We have to be the directors and protagonists of our own movie, without give some supporting actors doing a bad end of it!

Amen

Hi @plapuma. Thanks for that insightful post. It reminded me of a childhood idea that I have had for a long time. To be truly ourselves we have to let go and in order to let go we have to be selfless as you put in your post. This is easier said than done and all I can do is try everyday. 

Anyways welcome to steemit!

Great introduction, @plapuma. 

I think a lot of people find it difficult to reach self-actualization due to, like you said, the negativity that clouds their thoughts and I'm not any less guilty of having them. I believe realizing this is the first step to moving forward and you have to keep a positive outlook to maintain a steady path towards reaching one's full potential.

I love your writing and will be looking forward to seeing more from you in the future.

In real life, there will always be negative thoughts and greed. Totally getting rid of them is impossible but we can get them under control. I think a more realistic approach is to use greed to your advantage. Take risks, be bold, earn more, share what you've got. Laugh or cry whenever you have to. Be yourself and change yourself to be better, not to be like someone else. There are so many ways to put it but for me, making choices is easier knowing that in life, we have to take the good with the bad. That's how we learn. We deal with the negatives to appreciate the positive. - Just like photography. Nonetheless, it's a really bold introduction. Welcome to Steemit!
