Signals
Declining self-authorship is the most comprehensive offense to the self. It is an opportunity of the highest order because it informs all other places out in the world.
Without self-authorship, there is no path to self-actualization. There might be a sense of progression, but it is a medley of other people’s trails leading nowhere.
Without listening to signals intuition sends, we will necessarily live someone else’s script.
Self-actualization, defined as being seen by others how you view yourself, is impossible without interest (developing focus) on the self and pursuing personal (not given) meaning.
