The Age Of Self-Realization
Stop trying to chase after a perfect, imaginary version of who you could be. Start being who you really are. Learn to see past your ego, your prejudices, and discover the you hidden underneath. Stop boxing yourself in to a fixed personality type. Reframe limiting beliefs about yourself, like the idea that you’re an introvert, into core values and learn how to live your values in your everyday life.

Personality psychology
Your consciousness is made up of intuitions, feelings, thoughts, and sensations. Some of these can be quiet and introverted; others can be loud and extroverted. Some can be playful and spontaneous, and others can feel serious and important.
Introversion and Extroversion
The quieter, more sensitive, and more modest your conscious experiences are, the more introverted you are. The louder, more vivid, and more intense, the more extroverted. But when integrated, the two become one and the same. Your introversion can give you insights that you can share with others later. Your extroversion can inspire personal insights later.
Intuition and Sensing
The more imaginative, conceptual, and theoretical it is, the more intuitive it is. The more concrete, practical, and visual it is, the more sensory it is. But when integrated, the two become one. Your ideas want to be made real. Your practical observations can fuel groundbreaking new ideas and discoveries.
Feeling and Thinking
The more emotional, authentic, honest, and vulnerable something is, the more Feeling it is. The more rational it is, the more structured it is, the more impersonal it is, the more Thinking it is. Integration is when your brain stops fighting your heart. Your Thinking can help you make your dreams come true. Your Feelings can help you live your truth.
Judging and Perceiving
The more planned, the more goal-oriented, the more Judging it is. The more spontaneous it is, the more open-ended it is, the more Perceiving it is. But you need vision to take a crazy whim and turn it into a consistent practice. And you need chaos within yourself to not just formulate a plan, but to live it.
Help me change the world
I want to challenge existing models like the MBTI in their desire to box people into limiting categories. I want to create fluid, open-ended models that drive self-transformation and deepen insights into yourself and others. But how?
👨🔬 I’ve built an approach based on an understanding of eight human values: Play, Curiosity, Love, Autonomy, Authenticity, Adventure, Beauty, and Creativity. I’m trying to help people reframe personal, limiting preferences or desires, to deeper values and motivations.
🟰 I believe that the quest to make the world a better place starts with the work of the everyday man. Change starts in the communities; it’s our hard work that makes change possible. So let’s do it together.
I’m trying to help people in the goal of self-discovery and personal growth, rather than get them stuck in a limited category.
