What I Think I Know

Ego boundaries must be hardened before they can be softened

November 12, 2016 Nate

“… we must possess or achieve something before we can give it up and still maintain our competence and viability. … Ego boundaries must be hardened before they can be softened. An identity must be established before it can be transcended. One must find one’s self before one can lose it.”

The road less traveled P. 97
