Sometimes the order of needs can get mixed up. Disrupted, showing how complex human desires can be. For instance, imagine someone who is stuck in a job that doesn't fulfill their (security and safety need). Even though this situation poses emotional risks they might choose to stay in it just to maintain their status and reputation. The desire for recognition and approval from society becomes more important to them than having a safe work environment. Another scenario could involve someone dealing with addiction prioritizing satisfying their cravings ( needs) over seeking love and belonging. Despite damaging their relationships the addictive behavior becomes a way for them to cope, offering temporary relief or comfort. This flips the hierarchy around as seeking gratification becomes more urgent than establishing social ties. Now let's consider an entrepreneur who puts aside their need, for love and belonging to focus on building a successful business (esteem needs). Striving relentlessly towards career goals can sometimes cause a shift, in priorities, where the desire, for recognition and status, takes precedence over the importance of connections and a sense of belonging. Thinking about reaching my potential in the closing section picturing how it plays out in my life entails a blend of personal development significant connections and following my passions. To me, self-actualization involves forming a bond with myself pursuing a career that reflects my values, and nurturing authentic relationships. It surpasses achievements and acknowledgment to reach a point where I constantly push my boundaries to make an impact, on society and derive deep contentment from the journey of self-discovery. Achieving self-actualization is a process of dynamism, where meeting each need. From the most basic to the highest level. Contributes, to a fulfilling and purposeful existence.
