Two Questions to Close the Greatness Gap « The Bold Academy
“Musicians must make music, artists must paint, poets must write if they are to be ultimately at peace with themselves. What human beings can be, they must be. They must be true to their own nature. This need we may call self-actualization… It refers to man’s desire for self-fulfillment, namely to the tendency for him to become actually in what he is potentially: to become everything one is capable of becoming.” – Abraham Maslow Throughout life, we will constantly be confronted with unfavorable encounters, negative energy, and necessary evils.
