relationship with self
Stuff happens. Your stories about it determine whether it’s manageable or not.
Once people do not trust themselves, they are subject to easy manipulation.
Joel Kramer • The Guru Papers
We all have very good reasons not to trust ourselves. We’ve all betrayed ourselves badly, repeatedly, shamefully, and knowingly. Show me someone who hasn’t abandoned themselves, and I will show you a child. As we grow into adults, our world opens and we make mistakes. Ignoring your own needs and deserting yourself is a universal mistake.
Katherine Morgan Schafler • The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control
The desire to be special can only exist if you don’t know who you are.

i think too many people are assuming that they can turn on a "artist" switch after years of making money doing something. probably most confusing while working broadly in the creator world
don't underestimate how much the game you are playing changes who you are
“We must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define us.”
—Virginia Satir
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*.
