| Maslow's hierarchy of needs said that the first struggle is to survive. And once survival has been secured, people strive to individuate and find a greater and higher personal meaning in one they do. We are often told to "follow our heart" and "live the dream." And then we are given powerful examples of people who did so and went all the way. There are many, many powerful examples of people who tried and failed, though, and we tend not to hear about those as much through the media at least. These people tend to end up doing whatever it is they can do. They live only in survival mode.
Your plan sounds great. You've got survival and individuation covered. |
