Invent, Teach or Sell something to fulfill Needs

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.  

You could share my story telling blog with them.  http://www.storytimewithladydivine.blogspot.com

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.
