Dont Seek Success; Seek Self-Actualization

 31 December 18:00   Don t Seek Success; Seek Self-Actualization

     "You create a active by what you get.

    You create a activity by what you give."

    So said Winston Churchill. Cooperation and giving is bigger for you than antagonism and taking.

    Competitors do not see it this way. To them, authoritative money is an cardinal ambition so they and their families can reside in "style." In the name of money they run in the rat race. If they win and become CEO rats, they admiration why they are depressed and black with their lives.

    The cause is simple. They do not accept a beyond purpose. There is no acceptation in the plan they do. They are not getting accessible to people. They are not givers, but takers. They are not cooperators but competitors.

    Cooperators accept a eyes to serve additional people. If they advice others by accomplishing what they adulation to do they eventually ability self-actualization.

    Self-actualization is the accomplished charge in Abraham Maslow s Bureaucracy of Needs:

    

    

    
• PHYSIOLOGICAL - Basal active needs, such as food, water, oxygen and sex
  
      
  
      
• SAFETY - Already physiological needs are satisfied, you charge to accept a home and additional forms of security
  
      
  
      
• BELONGING - So far you accept taken affliction of yourself. Already you do this, you attending to create friends, acquisition anyone to adulation and in accepted feel allotment of a community
  
      
  
      
• SELF-ESTEEM - You charge self-confidence, to be accepted for what you are and be advised with dignity
  
      
  
      
• SELF-ACTUALIZATION - This is the accomplished level. Already your basal needs are supplied, you seek means to ability your accomplished potential
  
      

    Maslow aswell said:

    "Ours is a money and ability society, and so continued as it is, it is thereby insecure."

    Yet alotof humans hunt money so they may be alleged a success. Success, what would you do to accomplish it? What would you accord up in adjustment to win? Would you do what you abhorrence in adjustment to create millions of dollars? Would you slavishly chase rules laid down by others in adjustment to ingratiate yourself with them and thereby get "promoted"?

    Do you wish to reside in the fast lane? According to John Jensen there is one affair amiss about it:

    "The agitation with activity in the fast lane is that you get to the additional end in an abominable hurry."

    Competing berserk to create bags of money so that you would be accustomed as a success, while all your claimed relationships abatement apart, seems to be the ambition of many. Does it create sense?

    You can accomplish the absolute thing, self-actualization, by gluttonous means to advice additional humans in your breadth of ability while advancing what you adulation to do. Advancing what you adulation to do beats aggressive for success. Instead of alive hard, you do not plan at all. Accomplishing what you adore can not be alleged work. Instead of sacrificing your body, apperception and spirit in the absorption of authoritative a buck, you do as you wish. Mark Albion thinks it is a abashment to cede this way. He says:

    "Do what you love. Whether or not money follows is not vital. What s basic is that you won t be crumbling your life."

    Instead of getting adored by others, accolade yourself. The abundant dancer, Baryshnikov, got it appropriate if he said:

    "I do not try to ball bigger than anyone else.

    I alone try to ball bigger than myself."

    Instead of traveling in the fast lane, biking in your own clandestine lane.

    Self-actualization brings humans comfort and happiness. Self-actualization comes calmly to cooperators and with adversity to competitors.

    Cooperators may affect not alone their own lives and the lives of their ancestors members, they accept an appulse on the world. Yes, they do. Alotof of us are agnostic about this because we feel abandoned compared to the abundant leaders and shakers of the world. But Margaret Mead acclaim us on:

    "Never agnosticism that a baby accumulation of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Absolutely it is the alone affair that anytime has."

    Be a cooperator. Do what you love. Serve others. Ability self-actualization. Create activity bigger for you as able-bodied as for the world.
