RE: Self Actualization: A different type of #introduceyourself -Part I

Wow such an amazing post, speaks volumes about where I'm currently at in my Life. Of course I still have much changing and growing to do, however, this year I've started a highly anticipated six month goal to reduce my life to a Book bag, Bank account and a Bitcoin wallet, lol. With ownership comes great liability... my aim is to be free of 'stuff' liability, I don't want to own anything but experiences.In 2015 I lost the closest person to me, my Dear Mother and with her went my fear of losing anything else, Including myself. And that in no way means that I'm living reckless or that I want to die, I just don't fear it like I've always have my whole life. I'm already a natural born pollyanna so not much work needed there. In fact, at times my overly positive attitude gets me more flak then welcome. Trust me, people will fight for their right to see things from a negative aspect. And that's cool too. I've come to terms with the fact that I can't make other people Happy. I can only be Happy. It's my choice to be, not a result of anything short of me being alive to even experience it. My number one mentor growing up was Napolean Hill. I got my hands on my first Napolean hill book at the age of 12 so go figure... he was the first person to teach me some of the life's most potent lessons. Other people that influenced my way of thinking includes Andrew Carnegie, Earl Nightingale, Neale Donald Walsch and even Robert Kiyosaki. Other than these authors I have to credit my Late Mother Brenda Porter who always believed and encouraged me and My Auntie Helene Porter who exposed me to opportunities to expand my mind at a young age, for without them collectively I would not be here at a point of Self Actualization. It feels good to be totally satisfied with every thing in Life Good Bad or Indifferent. Hope this post wasn't too long. Once again, Thank you for sharing a great post. Peace, Love and Prosperity to all my Steemians.

I also like all of the authors that you mentioned. It's interesting how an unfortunate event can change our lives so drastically to the better or also to the worse. I m glad that you could pick the good side. I have a feeling that great things are waiting for you. Keep in touch!
