Rollo May – Existential Psychology

 Essentially, May saw people living in the world of present experiences and ultimately being responsible for who they become.

May believed that may people lack the courage to face their destiny and while in the process of fleeing from it, they give up much of their freedom. Having negated their freedom, they likewise run away from responsibility. Not being willing to make choices, they lose sight of who they are and develop a sense of insignificance and alienation.

In contrast, healthy people challenge their destiny, cherish their freedom, and live authentically with other people and themselves. They recognize the inevitability of death and have the courage to live life in the present.

The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous

The relative success of the AA program seems to be due to the fact that an alcoholic who no longer drinks has an exceptional faculty for "reaching" and helping an uncontrolled drinker.

In simplest form, the AA program operates when a recovered alcoholic passes along the story of his or her own problem drinking, describes the sobriety he or she has found in AA, and invites the newcomer to join the informal Fellowship.

The heart of the suggested program of personal recovery is contained in Twelve Steps describing the experience of the earliest members of the Society:

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Maturity

Life is progressive, babies learn to crawl, walk and then make decisions. Handling conflicts is a life skill each of us my embrace. To sum it all, as laid down by a good friend of mine Beth,"Don’t Facebook Your Problems or post on social media Face Them Head-on: Some things are just not meant to be shared publicly on Facebook. Regardless of how frustrated, angry or disappointed you are, don’t shame yourself by parading your personal or family problems on public forums. Posting personal or family problems on Facebook attracts more problems than solutions and it actually empowers your enemies with privileged insider information that can be used against you. Far too many people that we share our problems with aren’t even interested in hearing them. If you are really angry, frustrated or disappointed first go in the inner room and pour your heart to God in earnest prayer. Secondly, give yourself time to calm down, analyze the situation logically and determine a constructive action to take. Thirdly, if there is a need, calmly and privately approach the offender with a plan to seek understanding, resolution or reconciliation. If you need to seek advice or mediation, consult only with godly, prayerful and trusted people who will give you impartial biblical advice - people who will tell you the truth you need to hear. Above all let your problems be known to God. He is the only one who has your best interest at heart."

The creator molded us in the way that we are all creators. He created us for a reason; to solve problems on earth. A student of success, knowing purpose of your existence is key to the realization of our desired haven. Purpose is known through the following methods:

1. Ask your creator who has a manual to guide you
2. Ask your mother who carried you for 9 months
3. Research on the challenges on earth and solve them
4. Visit your past and identify the various times you succeeded. This is done through retrospection.
5. Connect with nature such as trees, rivers and oceans and be still. You will hear a still small voice.
These are not the only ways, many other ways will roll back to this fact: "Engage in those things you are passionate about"
There are many pillars of purpose, however i will highlight a few in this blog; they include but not limited to:
1. Positive mental attitude
2. A learning mind- read motivational books and autobiographies of those who succeeded in what you want to do.
3. Audit your life frequently
4. Persevere- pursue your dream until you succeed.
5. Change your network frequently. Your network is your net-worth. Hang out with the write friends and business partners.
6. Balance your life. Focus on all areas of your life such as spiritual, mental, financial and legacy
Among the things that bring your purpose down include:-
1. Negative mental attitude. Looking at things from the negative side of it.
2. Comfort zone- dwelling in your comfort zone, accepting things as they are is a dangerous vice that makes us a liability on earth.
3. Negative friends- get a mastermind of people who criticize you positively and them that encourage you to succeed.
4. Lack of self-control or discipline - much of anything is poisonous. Be disciplined.
To conclude on this therefore I highlight the four agreements that you must make to reach your destiny:
1. Do your best
2. Do not make any assumptions- get the facts about anything
3. Don't take things personally- do not defend your ignorance, grow.
4. Keep your word always- to your self and others.
I believe you have enjoyed this brief writeup. till next time. I remain your friend and Coach Ezekiel AKA Uncle Bill.
