Growth is Overcoming 'Creative Despair' Regarding One's Own Immaturity - Buddhist Psychology

This morning's column

\Growth starts from accepting yourself as you are\

What I really wanted to convey here is,

that the mindset of denying who you are and trying to change yourself is, in itself a form of self-loathing, and conversely, that very mindset is what lowers your self-esteem...is what I wanted to convey.

If you're not careful, every time you try to change yourself, you might end up sending negative energy toward yourself.

Because there is nothing more troublesome than 'self-loathing'.

The reason some people who attend self-help seminars still cannot escape their inner suffering is surely because of this.

You might feel energized in the moment, but it quickly fades as time passes.

That is because self-loathing lies at the root.

If you do not accept yourself, you are sending negative energy to yourself. You need to be careful about this.

So, when a person wants to change significantly, what should they do?

To do that, you must first accept the person you are right now.

You may never be able to like it, but that is who you are, so it cannot be helped.

Creative despair.

Start by giving up in a positive way, realizing the truth, and accepting it.

And then, step by step, go beyond that version of yourself.

Instead of denying yourself and trying to change, accept yourself and transcend.

Try shifting your consciousness toward going beyond the boundaries of who you are now.

This is what is called self-transcendence.

Self-transcendence is the form of growth one should aspire to.

To put it in pleasant terms,
there is no such thing as a perfect human being.

To put it bluntly, all humans are immature.

If you and I are human, we are all immature.

If you harbor even the slightest expectation that you might be superior, that expectation will stop your growth and cause you suffering.

Because it is by acknowledging your immaturity that you can strive to grow.

Growth lies in overcoming 'creative despair' regarding one's own immaturity.

Let us take a step toward the future by accepting ourselves as we are.

📣\I am inviting you for free to the 'Metacognitive Introspection Method Seminar,' an evolved form of writing meditation/

Some people even see their mental clarity rise to 90%!

Everyone, have you ever received objective advice from someone and had an 'aha!' moment?

Also, have you ever had someone listen to your concerns, helping you organize your thoughts and clear your mind?

And wouldn't it be incredibly convenient if you could do all of this yourself without relying on others?

What makes that possible is the 'Metacognitive Introspection Method,' an evolved form of writing meditation.

The benefits are
・You can become aware of your true self, which lies dormant in your subconscious.
・You can broaden your perspective and give yourself objective advice.
・Your mind becomes clear, healed, and your self-esteem increases.
・Significant realizations lead to self-growth.
・You will no longer be trapped by unnecessary thoughts and emotions.
