Instability, confusion, difficulty, uncertainty… it’s a crazy world out there right now. But in the chaos lies the calm, in the problem lies the solution. Though things are uncertain, now is the perfect time to dig down and look at what is working and what is not. How do you build a house? One board at a time. And right now, it’s time to get building!
So. What do you want? Not sure of how to know what you want? Let me help you out. Have you heard of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs? It’s the theory that human needs can be broken into five categories. Picture a pyramid, with the base of the pyramid being physiological needs such as food, water and shelter. The middle of the pyramid contains our needs of safety, connection and esteem. Self actualization sits atop the needs pyramid and is characterized by our desire to become the most we can be. It is our self-fulfillment, or potential and the desire to accomplish anything and everything that we can.
If we are struggling to meet our needs at the base of the pyramid, our needs in the middle or at the top of the pyramid become harder and harder to meet. If you spend the majority of your time and energy acquiring food, shelter, employment, resources and property, it’s likely you’ll have less time and energy to meet your needs of friendship, connection, freedom, self-esteem and recognition. So how do you start to meet all of your needs?
First it’s important to recognize what your needs and wants and priorities are and then to make an honest and complete assessment of your life and where you are on your way to meeting those needs. What is working for you and what is not? What parts of your life can you upgrade to help you feel more free to pursue those middle pyramid needs? We at Manning Enterprizes have been asking ourselves the same questions.
