Actualization

Finding meaning is a lifelong process that continually evolves as we grow and incorporate new information. Self-actualization is not a destination as it appears on top of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Transitions in life are never a linear process; we are human, subject to living in a world with other humans without a predetermined guidebook illustrating possible scenarios and how to react. The way we approach and manage our lives depends on our Mindset. The C-C-A process assists you on your journey to achieving a wisdom mindset, observing life without judgment.

Finding meaning is an individual and deeply personal process: 

​

“A man’s search for meaning is the primary motivation in his life and not a 'secondary rationalization' of instinctual drives”.

- Viktor Frankl

​

‘Know Thyself’, the phrase attributed to Aristotle.

​

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams, who looks inside, awakes”.

- Carl Gustav Jung.

​

Amit Sood, MD suggests finding life’s meaning in the following three questions:

Who am I?

Why do I exist?

What is this world?
