The Ability To Be In The Present

We Crave And Fear Becoming Truly Ourselves

Creative People Are All There, Totally Immersed, Fascinated And Absorbed In The Present, In The Current Situation, In The Here-now, With The Matter-in-hand.

But Behavior In The Human Being Is Sometimes A Defense, A Way Of Concealing Motives And Thoughts, As Language Can Be A Way Of Hiding Your Thoughts And Preventing Communication.

A Person Who Makes Full Use Of And Exploits His Talents, Potentialities, And Capacities. Such A Person Seems To Be Fulfilling Himself And Doing The Best He Is Capable Of Doing. The Self-actualized Person Must Find In His Life Those Qualities That Make His Living Rich And Rewarding. He Must Find Meaningfulness, Self-sufficiency, Effortlessness, Playfulness, Richness, Simplicity, Completion, Necessity, Perfection, Individuality, Beauty, And Truth.

A Positive Self Image And Healthy Self Esteem Is Based On Approval, Acceptance And Recognition From Others; But Also Upon Actual Accomplishments, Achievements And Success Upon The Realistic Self Confidence Which Ensues.
