“Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered either by themselves or by others”
Mark Twain
As this saying keeps our attention that what ‘we are’ and what we ‘can be’, either we have discovered ourselves or living a life which is still undiscovered. Let ‘You’ discover yourself now by going through some important and necessary levels of life which will help you to reach your ‘Actual Self’ which is worthwhile and might be undiscovered.
As the famous Psychologist 'Abraham Maslow' point out in his 'Maslow Hierarchy of Needs' that all human begins always go through five levels of needs from birth till death. The first level is the 'Need for food, water and warmth' which are known as 'Physiological Needs' that are necessary for living. The second level includes 'Need for Safety' which is known as 'Security Need' .As everyone also needs security of his or her good future after the Physiological needs. The third level includes 'Need for Belonging' which is known as 'Need for Love' in which everyone wants a loving family, supporting friends and an intimate partner to whom one can belong himself. The fourth level includes 'Need for Esteem' which means to have 'Self Esteem', 'Self Confidence', 'Respect for Others' and 'Achievement'.
The Fifth and the Last level includes 'Self Actualization' which means to reach at the level where You can actually explore your 'Real Self' and for the 'Real Purpose' for which you are created and for which you are here. In short, Maslow tries his best to explain that when we came in this world we slowly and gradually go through these levels one by one, when our first need (level) is fulfill we move to second level and when the second is satisfied we move for third and then fourth and after the satisfaction of fourth level we finally reach to the last and the most important level that is to reach at the Self Actualization.
According to Maslow, Self Actualization is the level where one can explore his ‘Real Self’ and ‘Real Purpose of Life’ for which he or she is 'Created' and 'Sent' in this world. Because at this level one can reach his or her full potential and can realize it as well as one can become the person what he or she actually ‘Capable of Becoming’. Once a person who reach at this level will be able to find the actual ‘Meaning and Purpose’ of his or her life.
Now I want to add here something,Yes we all go through these three or four levels but we never go through the Fifth level even we never think about it. As we came in this world we follow our elder's and old systems but don't think out of the box. Just do whatever our elder's or teacher's learn us and never think beyond it. That’s why we never reach to the Fifth level where we would be able know for what purpose we are actually here and what is the Best and Unique in us that others have not.
Yes its true that 'Everyone' in this world has something best and extraordinary inside his or her own self and no one can take it because its all 'God Gifted'. Due to which one can access easily to the actual ‘Goal of Life’ and Maslow's theory explains the same by the progression and satisfaction of each level one by one.
So its time to judge your self who ‘You’ are and who ‘You’ must be, why ‘You’ are here and what is the best in ‘You’ which others lack and ‘You’ are ‘Blessed’ .Something that should be proud off or must be appreciable for ‘You’ only. Now its your turn to explore your self and your own uniqueness which is hidden inside ‘You’ and reach to your self actualization level so that ‘You’ will be very satisfied by knowing your ‘Reason of Living’ here and the ‘Purpose of your Creation’.
Go ahead be the one whom ‘You’ are capable of becoming because ‘You’ have the best of it. And always remember everyone is blessed with a unique quality just explore it so ‘You’ can reach your actual Self and will become the one which ‘You’ really Deserve and Must be. Now judge yourself who You are ‘Now’ and what You ‘Can be’ and remember ,be the one who YOU can be in the best manner . Good Luck!!!!!
