Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Maslow’s pyramid of needs definitely fits into the scheme of our everyday lives and what we strive for, but the degree to which we follow satisfy these needs is a different story. Self-actualization: this is the hardest level to reach. “Full use and exploitation of talents, capacities and potentials.” WOW! Is this fully possible? Capabilities and potentials can increase and change so much throughout one’s life, reaching our full capacities seem to be unreachable and sometimes impossible. Or am I being a pessimist?
I want to be able to seek knowledge, peace, self-fulfillment, environmental causes, love and all the talents I may posses. This all sounds so wonderful but it would take me more years than I have on this earth. Schooling seems to be the biggest factor of my life and I think everyone else’s life. Knowledge never ends. I go to college to become something I am unsure of.
My talent: Not sure. I have always been the one who was good enough but never the best. I played basketball for a while and was okay, but not the best. I was athletic and could pick up a sport easily. Art, I did that for while too. I was okay, but not the best. I never got to discover my full potential. There are so many things I want to embark on but never had the guts to, such as acting (doesn’t everyone?). I want to do it because I need to break out of my shell; I have lost so much of who I was these past years. Acting seems to be something that can bring back the more outgoing and optimistic person that I was.
I seem to fall short on so many of my discoveries.
I feel like I am rambling on about nothing, excuse my neediness to express my thoughts.
