What is the common denominator of: recognition, respect, value, care, compassion, appreciation, gratitude, admiration, high esteem, love?
They all have to do with getting/giving positive attention from/to others.
It was Maslow Abraham who talked about the theory of human motivation and the words above describe social needs and esteem needs one feels s/he must have in order to be happy and motivated.
Maslow hierarchy pyramid’s summit is, self actualization where one implements his/her potential based on their inner wisdom, coherence, integrity and high values.
If Maslow was alive, I would encourage him to change the concept of pyramid into a more balanced inter relations between social needs, esteem needs and self actualization.
My point is, that sometime when you are lonesome , it’s a matter of attitude whether you take the self pity approach and get sad or depressed , or you do inner self discovery as a journey into your being and give love, compassion, care and attention to yourself and as result, grow in yourself development capabilities.
I accept that we all need positive attention from others .In other words, we need to be loved in the highest scale grade, or at least to be noticed – in the lower grade of the scale. However, sometimes we are disappointed because expectations we have from others or as result of the scenarios we create in our imagination.
For instance, we may walk across our boss, and he ignore us.. We may feel neglected or maybe think we did something wrong to upset him. Yet we can take a more realistic, objective view, scan our actions and if we don’t find a real cause, we would get to the conclusion and say :” he was busy and it has nothing to do with me ,that he didn’t nod his head to say “hello”.
Next time you feel lonely – try the following:
Nurture your body mind and spirit from within. Or if you like, your first commandment is – “LOVE THY SELF”
Observe your body. You are the manager of more than 50 trillion cells. Do you mind taking care of them?
Do you know what the cells like to eat for breakfast?
How about your organs and body systems? Do you treat them well? Do you provide them with best conditions to operate in optimum healthy way?
What about you mind, can you change your mind?
No, not your brain parts, but the software of your being which are: Thoughts, emotions, sensations, imagination, memory and dreams that are located within your consciousness and sub consciousness? Can you observe them? They shape your reality and truth. Are you able to observe the “back office” - “the operating system of perception”?
Who am I dialoging now? Who is the I am i talking with? Do you know?
Who is you?
And what about your spirit? Do you feel you have such a component? Is it located in your mind / brain.. Above it?
Once you explore your being inward, you will be able to know better “the rules of the game “to change mal behavior with positive behavior, and convert conditioned negative self esteem with positive more confident self esteem.
You will also be able to find creativity within you. You may not be Leonardo de Vince but if you take a brush and paint you may find inner joy to be an artist… you may write poems for privacy only, yet you will enjoy reading your compositions and insights.
You will be able to improve your performance with your own inner standards without the need to get “good grades” from external world.
