Invent, Teach or Sell Something to Fulfill Basic Human Needs!
Listen with an open heart to this
message and to what those around you are saying.
Look for needs that need to be fulfilled in people’s
lives. Ask and you shall receive. Be a vessel of hope and inspiration to those
around you.
Figure out what can be done by you to fulfill the
needs of those around you.
An example of this could be that they need
money. You have several solutions for
them.
They can switch to Ambit Energy and save on their
light bill or they can become consultants for Ambit Energy, earn their free
energy and be saving money every month. http://www.rebeccalamon.myambit.com
You could recommend to them the website of Kate
Northrup. http://www.katenorthrup.com Kate is a lovely lady with many great
strategies about how to go about handling your finances by changing the way
that you think about bills, money, etc.
What if they are lonely? You
could recommend that they read some of my blogs. You could share, “Ole Happy Days” with
them.
Are they business oriented or are they looking to
start a business and don’t know where to get started. Share with them my business blog.
What if they do not have any savings and they do not
own a home, but they want a home? You
could recommend that they get an IDA account where they can start a savings
plan with matching funds to save for a business or a home.
You can also recommend Habitat for Humanity to them
who will help pay for their home after they make their down payment.
What if they have physiological needs? Perhaps they need something to help them get
around better. You could recommend a
pharmacy or shop that specializes in making canes or wheelchairs. They may not know where to go.
If it is food that they need, recommend a local food
bank or charity organization to them that will be able to help them. I am sure that these organizations can help
and they will point them in the right direction where they can get more help.
Along with needing food and shelter everyone needs
access to good health care. Make sure
everyone that you know knows where the local health department is located.
Look and listen to those around you. Sometimes it is hard to tell what types of
needs that they are in need of the most.
Are they alone most of the time when you see them? Perhaps they need companionship. They may
have the need for love and belonging. Include
them in activities that are available.
Recommend a local church to them.
Tell them about health clubs in the area. Make yourself accessible to them in case they
would like to chat over the phone.
Perhaps their needs are psychological where they may
be lacking in self esteem. Are they
moody or do they get upset easily at situations that are out of their
control? Or do they consistently say
things that belittle themselves such as I am so stupid I should have known
that.
Regardless of the symptoms you can always look for
ways to counteract or reduce the severity of the things that they are
doing. If they are beating their self up
with this negative self-talk, you can say something that is positive. Encourage them by recognizing all of their
good qualities and praising them for their accomplishments. You can also encourage them to seek some kind
of counseling.
This takes me straight into Safety Needs. We all have the need to feel safe. We have Police, lifeguards, bouncers, and
lots of other people which serve in a function to protect us.
You may ask them if they have a plan of action in
case of emergency. By establishing a
plan of action they are finding ways to insure that their safety needs are met. In case of a fire, where do family members
need to go? When they get outside where should they meet so that they are all
assured that everyone made it out of the house safe and sound. This designated place is their safety zone.
This article was brought to you today so that you
can start identifying basic human needs that we all share. By being aware of our needs we can work to
insure that our needs are being met.
By learning to identify your needs first you will be
more experienced recognizing other people’s needs.
One thing that you can learn quickly is that
everyone’s needs are not the same. And
rich or poor we all have all of these basic needs, which are Physiological,
Safety, Love & Belonging, Esteem and Self Actualization.
I touched upon a lot of these except for Self Actualization
and I omitted that one on purpose, because that one is going to be a whole blog
post dedicated for it only. It is a very
important need but it is also one that is a scarcity of getting met in a
majority of people's lives.
You may be the next inventor or teacher that comes
up with something to help people meet these needs.
