How do we self-actualize, i.e. what do we imagine for ourselves and the sort of life we want to create? There are many ways to be on this path. Therapy, meditation, the writing process. Yet, we become overextended. We realize that we may need help in understanding key insights about ourselves. It is an act of discovery, a journey. There is no rush. Through the writing process, for example, one arrives at the answer, that the means to create poetry and literature is already in front of us. It is a matter of capturing what we mean and writing it on the page. Picking up the pencil, and beginning the craft, constructing—with our own hands—the sort of life we imagine for ourselves. However, we may attempt to self-sabotage, or play mind tricks with ourselves. We may doubt ourselves. This is all a part of the process of figuring oneself out. Everyone’s process is different.
