Self Actualization Quotes Quotes

“I realize it has taken the death of both my parents for me to finally begin to see who I am, but not through their eyes. I’ll never forget them; my parents I have been in lockstep ever since I was young child, but their words drowned out my own voice. I’m starting to come into my own. (240)”

“If a person relies too much on authority outside of themselves, it is very easy to lose yourself in that routine. That routine ‘in time’ becomes unconscious and those unconscious beliefs become invisible to the self. These unconscious beliefs then create bridges to a certain kind of understanding, but they also block you from perceiving other possibilities. If that external authority and those unconscious beliefs are never examined, then we can become imprisoned within cages that were created by others.”
