Have you reached your self-actualization? Self-actualization can be said

the point when someone can take advantage of their potential. There are many
young generations who haven’t reached the peak of their maturity, and haven’t
even found their potential yet. Therefore, as the younger generation, we should
have thought about that, because the young generation always have big influence
in every era. Exploring your potential is one important thing because it’ll be
useful for yourself and also in social life. If you’re still silent and never explore
your potential, you will not be able to progress, like walking in place only.

Towards a self-actualization isn’t an easy thing it requires a long process,

but will bring out a good characteristics. As a young generation who still have a
lot of time, it would be so good to start getting used to being confident, because
achieving self-righteousness will be more enjoyable with self-confidece. There are
lots of things that you need to start moving forward, they are maintain mental
health, always seek positive environment, foster the self-confidence, develop
creativity, and foster a social spirit.

In a process of reaching maturity, the most important thing is maintain

your mental health by always be positive and looking for a positive environment,
because according to experts, self-actualization is closely related to positive
mental health. If you can think positively at the right time, you will be able to
accept all the good and bad things around you with a good response. With a start
like this you will get easier to get to the next good things. If you already have a
positive environment and positive thinking, you will be more confident in starting
or trying something new. Self-confidence is needed to help you to explore your
potential which will create a way to achieve self-actualization. When you aren’t
afraid to try everything, you are indirectly looking for where your true passion is.
Besides that, when you are confident you will respect yourself and the abilities
that you have. Provided with self-confidence (in the sense of not exaggerating),
you will be motivated to take lots of actions that will spur creativity within you
without hesitation and fear of failure.

As a young generation, creativity is a very meaningful thing. According to

Treffinger, there’s no one that don’t have creativity. So, if you believe in yourself,
you’ll not hesitate to convey your creativity or ideas that you have, and you can
even create new creations through the ideas that you put out. With high creativity
you’ll have optimal self-development, for example, creative people create
possibilities to solve problems. After creativity, someone who can achieve self-
actualization has a visionary character, that is, like to try new things but doesn’t
forget his shortcomings so he still needs other people. Therefore, to reach your
self-actualization you need solidarity, such as helping others, respecting others,
and avoiding discriminatory actions by accepting yourself and others as they are,
regardless of status.

In conclusion, you can achieve self-actualization by your own self, and it

would be nice if you started now. Basically, humans are kind and creative. They
become destructive when got a poor self-concept or external obstacles. So, you
need to cultivating positive things, self-condifence, creativity, and social spirit to
change your mindset to be more mature than before, but achieving self-
actualization doesn’t mean that you turn into a perfect human, but focus on
relizing your potential.
