The Challenge of Being Yourself

January 12, 2012 Joan Friedlander

The path to personal fulfillment is often revealed when you give yourself permission to know your own heart and be yourself. However, the road to full self-expression is fraught with potential road blocks. As much you may crave a sense of self-authority, such achievement often gives voice to a series of fears about what will happen to you if you heed our inner guidance.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs says that first and foremost, and before self-actualization, we must tend to our basic needs, our physiological needs and safety needs, followed by social and esteem. Yet, as I observe my own experience, and that of the many people in my life (friends and clients), the very act of pursuing "self-actualization" seems to threaten all our elementary needs.

Today, in place of a full post, I offer you a 3.5 minute video short, The Challenge of Being Yourself. It's not polished, not rehearsed and not fancy, but it is from my heart. I hope you enjoy it.
