      First of all festive greetings to you all….to the children of our sculptor, happy last week of 2017 to the dreamers of a brighter and better future, a very Happy Christmas. Well to write up this with you, as my first post, I was just thinking about what we all go through around this time of the year - “new year resolution”, something that defines the wish of your heart before you get lost as the world starts moving spinning madly, encircling the Sun.

 It does perhaps always cross our mind that anything that we think committing ourselves to shines bright at the beginning, almost like turning around our life , solacing our mind, an step ahead from our current state, an improvement to a better physical, emotional, intellectual, financial state like the radiant bright hue of the rising Sun but not less than always loses its meaning as the hours or in this case days goes by. And also almost always at the end of every year we identify some different traits within ourselves which we have picked up to cope with the need of that hour which sometimes does not even align with our original self. What we term them is the life lessons, what sometimes they become is the life trap.

  Isn’t the trick is to identify ourselves with our individual goals ---- you know to resonate with dream reasonably and entice it to our desire? But for that identification and authentic association of yourself to the goals, cards of the heart and mind has to be rung at the same time, you have to know your immediate NEED to go up the ladder. For this one can always look at the Content theories that have been provided overtimes examining human behaviour with relation to the challenge of work and life. Here I want to explain one so that you can determine rationally and logically if you are confused for your next step to reach your dream.

A common, the simplest and most widely discussed theory which has been used by many organisations of modern times for motivation of their employees is the Abraham Harold Maslow’s Hierarchy Theory which can be used in our personal prospect also.  The essence of the theory is that needs and wants of the human being, since they are many can be arranged in the order of their importance or hierarchy from the basic to the complex theory and the person advances to the next level of hierarchy only when the lower level need is at least partially satisfied. Also it states that unfulfilled wishes and desires influence their behaviour.

 As shown above in a schematic representation you can see that Maslow has positioned the needs from deficiency needs to being needs. "This five-stage model can be divided into deficiency needs and growth needs. The first four levels are often referred to as deficiency needs (D-needs), and the top level is known as growth or being needs (B-needs).Deficiency needs arise due to deprivation and are said to motivate people when they are unmet. Also, the motivation to fulfill such needs will become stronger the longer the duration they are denied. For example, the longer a person goes without food, the more hungry they will become.

According to this  theory growth needs do not stem from a lack of something, but rather from a desire to grow as a person. Once these growth needs have been reasonably satisfied, one may be able to reach the highest level called self-actualization.Unfortunately, progress is often disrupted by a failure to meet lower level needs. Life experiences, including divorce and loss of a job, may cause an individual to fluctuate between levels of the hierarchy. Therefore, not everyone will move through the hierarchy in a unidirectional manner but may move back and forth between the different types of needs."(source - .www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html)

The point of ponder is -- At what level of needs are you struck at? How much do you want to climb up? Have you yet become aware of your self actualisation point or what can be termed as the purpose of your life? for once you have decided the answers to these question and its becomes the rumbling thoughts of your heart, you will never feel lost or trapped or it will not be just another resolution that went in drain or a year that went in vain. NEVER.

Life transcends when you win over your nervousness and desires, transform them to excitement and goals... achieve something that you have wished on a shooting star.
