Quote by Nena O'Neil
If we do not rise to the challenge of our unique capacity to shape our lives, to seek the kinds of growth that we find individually fulfilling, then we can have no security: we will live in a world of sham, in which our selves are determined by the will of others, in which we will be constantly buffeted and increasingly isolated by the changes round us.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of embracing our inner potential to shape our own lives. It suggests that if we fail to do so and neglect our personal growth, we will lack security and authenticity. Instead, we will be subject to external influences and live in a world of superficiality, where our identities are dictated by the desires of others. As a result, we will feel overwhelmed and disconnected from the ever-changing world around us. By rising to the challenge of self-determination, we can find fulfillment and create a sense of security in our lives.
