In reply to comment. That's a good question. These ideas just simmered in my brain for a while; I didn't do much reading or research for this post. I have not read anything that talked about these concepts this way, but if I discover something I will come back and post it in the comments. Can anyone else answer this question?

In reply to The Wealthy Accountant. Thank you. For me the most difficult concept for me to understand is that of self-actualization. Hard to get my head around.

Love this post. You are dead on about those moments of clarity, and how hard it is to maintain that clarity for long periods of time–but how important it is to do the daily work of focusing on those values. Theory is useless without praxis, and unfortunately we often forget that.
