About this Quote
This quote by Abraham Maslow highlights the importance of measuring up to our complete potential. Maslow recommends that if we choose being less than what we can, we will ultimately lead unhappy lives. This is because deep down, we know that we can attaining more and not measuring up to that potential can leave us feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. Maslow's words function as a pointer to continuously strive for development and self-improvement, rather than going for mediocrity. By welcoming our abilities and pushing ourselves to reach our complete potential, we can lead more fulfilling and satisfying lives.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
"My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane"
