proving your worth to yourself

"There is a theory that creativity arises when individuals are out of sync with their environment. To put it simply, people who fit in with their communities have insufficient motivation to risk their psyches in creating something truly new, while those who are out of sync are driven by the constant need to prove their worth. They have less to lose and more to gain." 
~Gary Taubes, Beyond the Soapsuds Universe, 1977
