relationship with self

Until we’re treating ourselves with dignity when we are struggling, we’re not healing.

Whatever emotion you try to avoid, you end up inviting into your life - in the exact way you try to avoid it.

The desire to be special can only exist if you don’t know who you are.

An interesting observation in Maslow's work on self-actualized people is that they tend to be less "introspective" than others. Meaning they spend less time thinking about themselves and their feelings. But they are more attuned to their inner compass when *acting on the world*.
