Assuming your personality

The existence of one human being is no more or less significant than that of another, and no one is more or less responsible, because within each of us lies a vital part of the whole. "If we do not all assume the responsibility of fulfilling our lives, living as fully functioning individuals, we will perpetuate the long history and the irreparable loss of the possibility that alone can complete the picture. We will continue to create unrest for ourselves and others," states Leo Buscaglia. In "Assuming Your Personality," the author states that humanity's only hope lies in each person's ongoing struggle for fulfillment: "It is our choice to accept the challenge of an intimate, personal, and non-transferable journey. Certainly, we are far less than we can be. There is still great potential to be achieved." In this book, Buscaglia shows the importance of experiencing life with more pleasure and intensity, making it a celebration every day, without fear of starting over whenever necessary — life is a journey with infinite possibilities and each one has only one chance to realize them. Assuming your personality celebrates the fulfillment of personality, a human condition that, if lived fully and actively, can generate beauty, strength and meaning in existence.
