the journey of self-discovery is inconvenient.
it takes us from periods of stability and integration to instability and intense growth, back to stability and integration at the next level.
when 2 year olds or teenagers move thru' instability, we consider it normal and say they are being 'difficult'; but when adults do it, we think it is self indulgent and say they are irresponsible.
yet, only by questioning conformity and ruffling a few feathers can we grow into a greater view of ourselves, our work and the world.
from: the ugly duckling goes to work on the fable the ugly duckling.
self discovery is important, yet we shld not withdraw ourselves totally while doing so.
