Laugh At What You Hold Sacred, And

What A Man Can Be, He Must Be. This Need We Call Self-actualizat Ion.

The Most Stable, And Therefore, The Most Healthy Self-esteem Is Based On Deserved Respect From Others Rather Than On External Fame Or Celebrity And Unwarranted Adulation.

The Emotional Reaction In The Peak Experience Has A Special Flavor Of Wonder, Of Awe, Of Reverence, Of Humility And Surrender Before The Experience As Before Something Great.

The Person In Peak-experiences Feels Himself, More Than Other Times, To Be The Responsible, Active, Creating Center Of His Activities And Of His Perceptions. He Feels More Like A Prime-mover, More Self-determined (rather Than Caused, Determined, Helpless, Dependent, Passive, Weak, Bossed). He Feels Himself To Be His Own Boss, Fully Responsible, Fully Volitional, With More "free-will" Than At Other Times, Master Of His Fate, An Agent.

Self-actualized People...live More In The Real World Of Nature Than In The Man-made Mass Of Concepts, Abstractions, Expectations, Beliefs And Stereotypes That Most People Confuse With The World.
