Self-Actualization vs. Self-Image Actualization
Bruce Lee on the difference between Self-Actualization (dt. Selbstbildverwirklichung) and Self-Image Actualization (dt. Selbstverwirklichung). Most people only pursue the first and never find their true selves.
More on the topic in this article on Brain Pickings: Bruce Lee on Self-Actualization and the Crucial Difference Between Pride and Self-Esteem.
Many people dedicate their lives to actualizing a concept of what they should be like, rather than actualizing themselves.
This difference between self-actualization and self-image actualization is very important. Most people live only for their image.
This is Water
I always wanted to do a Sketchnote for the Commencement Speech This Is Water to Kenyon College class of 2005 by the late David Foster Wallace. It was always one of my favorite philosophical speeches about freedom of choice.
The Sketchnote is based on the short film by The Glossary, who made a fantastic piece of art out of his speech.
The water is habits, the unthinking choices and invisible decisions that surround us every day – and which, just by looking at them, become visible again.
