The Best Ways To Meet Your Needs
Going back to the post regarding meeting the basic human needs, you’ll remember that we talked about how all people meet these needs. Although all people meet basic human needs in some way, we do not all do so constructively. Moreover, some of us will meet some needs positively and others negatively, and sometimes the one cancels out the other. Evaluating how you meet the most basic needs of life can take you onto a higher plane of living, allowing you to make the most of wealth creation and the most of life. This is one of the important and primary lessons Jamie McIntyre will teach you in the 21st Century Academy courses. I’ll overview this here, but to really maximize the advantages of this understanding, you’ve got to read Jamie McIntyre’s in-depth discussion.
Levels Of Fulfillment And Means Of Meeting Needs
People meet their needs in both positive and negative ways. Some use destructive vehicles to do so, and some use very positive means to their ends. Most often, the level of fulfillment you enjoy and your vehicle for need fulfillment relate directly to each other.
You may be meeting individual needs on low, moderate, or high levels. Specific needs may be met on different levels and in different ways; coordinately, the way you meet one need may be detrimental to how you meet another.
For example, you may meet your need for connection and love by entering into relationships; if your relationships are frequent, you may also meet your need for diversity in this way, but in so doing you are bringing down the level of fulfillment you feel from relationships as a builder of connectivity. In the end, neither need is fulfilled to any meaningful degree.
Some other ways needs are met, in either constructive or destructive ways could be:
• Substance/drug/alcohol use
• Food
• Sex
• Learning
• Reading
• Seminars/workshops
• Criticizing
• Spirituality
• Spending money
• Saving money
• Investing money
• Teaching leading
• Sympathy or self-pity
This list goes on and on and only gets more varied. Jamie McIntyre’s list in his writings and 21st Century Academy programs is far more comprehensive, and much better at illustrating the delicate balance between needs and fulfillment.
The key for you is to evaluate the ways you meet your basic needs, and strike a balance that works positively and constructively towards meeting all needs and growing as a successful, happy, financially stable person. Meeting basic needs is very much related to success in wealth creation, because the things you do that you think make you feel better may just be thwarting your best intentions and efforts.
Learn about balancing needs and fulfillment, and learn to meet needs constructively, enjoying the natural success that follows. This is the sort of education the 21st Century Academy gives you, the sort of really life-changing education that breeds financial success.
