Roger's Theory

After reading and learning all about the different personalities and theory's that are available to determine these things, the one that stood out to me the most was Carl Roger's theory. Rogers' believed that healthy personality is constant with your self image. He talks about how human's have one basic motive, and that is the tendency to self actualize and to fulfill one's potential and achieve the highest level of human-beingness that we can.

"The organism has one basic tendency and striving - to actualize, maintain, and enhance the experiencing organism” 

From studying over Roger's theory, I can agree with him on just about every level. I believe that a person's personality can be whatever ever they make it. I believe that everyone has a choice to make and the power to control their life styles and personalities. Yes, some people will argue about how bad things can occur and happen to people that they have no earthly control over, but I believe that it returns back to the fact of having everyone having a choice to make what they want out of the situation. For me, whenever bad things happen in my life or thing occur that I don't always agree with, I always turn to my faith and stay strong in that aspect to get me through the situation. In Romans 5, it talks about ho pain and suffering only build strength and endurance that builds and helps one fight through the pain and become stronger in the end. That is simply my choice, following what Roger's states in his theory. That is one aspect of my personality that i have control over and tend to stick to.

For me life is what you make you, and that you define your own personalities and how you wake up each and every day with a choice on how you are going to make it. Yes, external factors can play a major role in what occurs throughout the day, but how one handles it, is a choice that comes from within them.
