self actualization

In psychology class prov is teaching us about self actualization, and reaching ones true potential. He gave us a survey that had all these strange questions like
do you see pictures in the clouds?
do you ever just sit around and look at every day things that you find beautiful?
do you spend time contemplating the world around you in abstract ways?

What I got out of it is that artsy kids must be more self actualized then every one else, well artists and drug addicts.

so as i was was searching for artists that inspire me i was asking around to get inspired. My mom suggested Georgia O'keefe. she is probably the most inspiring thing ive seen all month. this little old lady quit reality and moved into a little hut. There she spent the last 20 years of her life creating amazing vibrant and above all youthful paintings. They were mostly close ups of flowers, but depicted in a very sensual way. Personally i loved hearing that its never too late to do what you love, and even though i may nto end up doing art as a carreer i can always run off when im nice and old :)
