self-alignment
You have a self to be aligned, because you are a multitude
When different parts are pulling or pushing you in different directions, you get stuck, you spin your wheels, you sabotage yourself. To apply yourself to anything, you must align yourself toward it.
Not all means of self-alignment are created equal. Coercion (the use of brute force or abusive self-concepts) might get you moving, but it will harm you, for you are suppressing parts of yourself. On the other hand, strong narratives, frames, and sources of esteem can renewably motivate and energize you.
Maximum ability & output require you to be unblocked, flowing freely, unbound.
The process of self-alignment or self-configuration is both active and inactive. It's both something you have to think through and something you have to do through
