When I was growing up as a kid, it seemed like achievement was my method of gaining ego strokes. I was praised for getting good grades and "for being smart."
Ultimately achievement felt like it lost its luster (luster that was never really there to begin with)...
I think what strokes my ego now are Acts of Inspiration: If another can somehow find inspiration in something I do, then somehow that makes me feel good. I also like to be inspired by others, wishing to be more like them... (wanting to be like those who inspire)
As we blossom, I wonder what forms the basis of our ego stroke spots... And how do we continually find the sources of feel good and fulfillment?
