Today's Gift
Today's Gift
A musician must make music; an artist must paint, a poet
must write, if he is to be at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be.
—Abraham
Maslow
The same is
true of a seamstress, carpenter, homemaker, lawyer, or mechanic. The question
is, who and what am I? What must I do to be at peace with myself? What can I be,
for that is what I must be?
A lucky few
of us find the answers to these questions fairly early in life, and we work to
develop into the people we can be and must be. We do that by looking at our
deepest desires, and ask what would bring fulfillment for us. We ask what we
would enjoy doing most, what we believe we have the ability to be really good
at. What is it that sometimes burns within us to be expressed or done? The
answers to what we can be, what we must be, come from within, through asking
ourselves these questions.
What kind
of a person am I capable of being?
