Never Settle for Less!

Work is not really work for those who truly love what they are doing so, in the total scheme of things, you should strive to find who you really are and then allow yourself to do the things you want to do. This process of going all out is often called “Self Actualization." Simply put, self actualization means “to become more and more who one is, to become everything that one is capable of becoming."
As a branch of psychology, the humanistic perspective allows for a more positive outlook (as compared to other branches such as psychoanalysis and behaviorism) and focuses on a person's potential, stressing growth and the desire to reach for self actualization.
This is why you should never settle for less because settling for less means you are not fully engaging yourself - you are not fully “self actualizing." When you settle for less, you are depriving yourself of one of the greatest satisfactions in life. Doing what you truly want to do will set you free whereas settling for less will only enslave you.
Quit working for a living and focus your energies on personal self actualization. Go out and become who you really are because then, and only then, will you produce great work.
