- Identity formation as discovery is closely linked to the concept of âdaimonâ, or âtrue selfâ.
- In this metaphor, identity formation is the task of discovering your true character.
- Alan Waterman says of the {1.1a} sources of identity elements in discovery:
- Elements: Found in your abilities and talents.
- Methods: Prioritize intrinsic rewards and what âfeels rightâ.
- Resolution: Primarily intuitive, but if multiple things âfeel rightâ, you may turn to rational decision-making.
- I agree that this is an element of identity formation: the wave does not have to die to become water; she is already water.
