Maslows hierarchy has now taken an all new meaning for me! It has moved beyond textbooks and economics and marketing and consumer behaviour. It is more than just a narrow box sitting atop a step table waiting to be taught to a marketing student..or the last paragraph the professor teaches when the students breathe a sigh of relief.
It is a new beginning for me! People attain Nirvana...Me on the other hand, the classic piece that I am, will attain SELF ACTUALISATION!!! Aaaahhh...sounds good when I just write it...waaah!!!
You know, I have realised that one (namely me..humility u see) very often survive at level three and four i.e. Social Needs and Ego Needs. You may ask what is wrong after all is the perfect order in the hierarchy...but surprise surprise we actaully survive for the benefits of OTHERS social annd ego needs. It is time to let the bird fly out of the cage...leave the baby's hand...a new beginning to errr...begin...basically MOVE ON and not for anyone else but yourself...rather in this case MYSELF!!
I have realised that you can only live for others to a certain extent after that you just start being taken for granted. And when that starts happening my dear friends you start looking out for yourself. Actually you don't but the point is you should!
That is what I HAVE TO start doing. I have to be selfish, I have to think of and for myself, I have to take care of my wants, needs and demands (Marketing paper tom!?!?!?), I have to know that I will not lose out on anything, I have to make sure I am not hurt, I have to think of being happy, I have to be the SELF in the hierarchy...I HAVE TO ATTAIN SELF ACTUALISATION!!!
Aaaaahhhhh...now that I have found the solution for myself...I will analyse it (Media RESEARCH Methodology is also tomorrow?!?!?! Yes...TWO papers...Do Not Laugh)
PROBLEMS of Self Actualisation: I am too nice!! Yes, honestly I personally believe I am really very nice which is why I have come to this state of attaining Self Actualisation. Giving up a service I have been providing for so many years is like asking an old man to leave his ancestral home. A tad bit difficult don't you think. I can't detach myself from other people and not be the way I am. *sigh* So much for the attainment
Though I am not giving up. I can try, right? I can take the first few steps. If it doesn't work I am where I am...but...If it does........... *
