In reality we move from natural competence

2024 Oct 06

To acquired incompetence

 

And then there is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

Truth is we are born complete like the seed

And then slide down to secure our safety needs

 

It’s an upside-down world

Where the race to the bottom decides the winner

 

To know yourself is the greatest gift you can give yourself:

  • What comes intuitively to me

  • What do I accomplish consistently with finesse and ease – my super power

  • If I were to go back in time, what would still be true about me – my essence

  • What quality in me offers the highest value – my contribution

 

When was the last time you had fun and were paid for it

Or you discovered yourself having lost yourself

 

You don’t need a framework, a shiny suit or levitation to do well

Discover yourself – and the field will appear.

 

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be. Abraham Maslow
