"In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety."
- Abraham Maslow, American psychologist best known for creating Maslow's hierarchy of needs, a theory of psychological health predicated on fulfilling innate human needs in priority, where the highest level is self-actualization. He stressed the importance of focusing on the positive qualities in people, as opposed to treating them as a collection of symptoms. Maslow was ranked tenth most cited psychologist of the 20th century by A Review of General Psychology (2002).
Maybe sometimes we're just not ready to leap. If and when we can muster it, the outcome can be pretty cool. Sure, we could humiliate ourselves briefly, but hey, that happens to everyone at some point, doesn't it? Might be worth a shot. Just sayin' ;) Hugs.
