You will be one of the few who choose self actualization. This understanding will give you the power to completely understand who you are and you will have unconditional love for yourself and others. Are you ready to continue on your journey? Below is Viktor Frankl's explanation of how you can obtain self-transcendence and achieve your goal. It is from his book Man's Search for Meaning. An excellent book for those who want to discover their purpose in life.
By declaring that man is responsible and must actualize the potential meaning of his life, I wish to stress that the true meaning of life is to be discovered in the world rather than within man or his own psyche, as though it was a closed system. I have termed this constitutive characteristic "the self-transcendence of human existence." It denotes the fact that being human always points, and is directed, to something, or someone, other than oneself - be it a meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter. The more one forgets himself - by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love - the more human he is and the more he actualizes himself. What is called self-actualization is not attainable aim at all, for the simple reason that the more one would strive for it, the more he would miss it. In other words, self-actualization is possible only as a side effect of self-transcendence. Viktor E. Frankl
