To The Man Who Only Has A

One's Only Rival Is One's Own Potentialities. One's Only Failure Is Failing To Live Up To One's Own Possibilities. In This Sense, Every Man Can Be A King, And Must Therefore Be Treated Like A King.

I Think Of The Self-actualizing Man Not As An Ordinary Man With Something Added, But Rather As The Ordinary Man With Nothing Taken Away. The Average Man Is A Full Human Being With Dampened And Inhibited Powers And Capabilities.

If I Were Dropped Out Of A Plane Into The Ocean And Told The Nearest Land Was A Thousand Miles Away, I'd Still Swim. And I'd Despise The One Who Gave Up.

Self-actualizing People Have A Deep Feeling Of Identification, Sympathy, And Affection For Human Beings In General. They Feel Kinship And Connection, As If All People Were Members Of A Single Family.

The Ability To Be In The Present Moment Is A Major Component Of Mental Wellness.
