“We have, all of us, an impulse to improve ourselves, an impulse toward actualizing more of our potentialities, toward self-actualization, or full humanness or human fulfilment, or whatever term you like. Granted this, then what holds us up? What blocks us?”

“… the “fear of one’s own greatness” or the “evasion of one’s destiny” or the “running away from one’s own best talents.”

— Abraham Maslow

When I read about the Jonah Complex (a phrase that describes the fear of one's own greatness), I remember thinking how I had never thought about his predicament as a complex. LOL. Seriously though, on this episode, I invited back Wanyuru and this time we are joined by Zosi Kadzitu to talk about self-transformation. This is part 2 of the first episode and I encourage you to listen to that first (if you hadn't already).
