BASIC NEEDS OF ME

My primary theoretical orientation is Reality Therapy, Choice Theory which was introduced by Dr. William Glasser. Am not going to tell you all about the history of the theory. But let us just look into those five basic needs and link it to our self and ask few questions... have we got the love and being loved by others? Is it important to have power in our hand and achieve success in our life? What is the meaning of fun to us? Are we concerned on our health condition? And what will be our freedom choice (if we have any)?

So these are the 5 Basic Needs... Love, Fun, Freedom, Power and Survival. One may suffer from stress, anxiety or even depression just because they did not fulfill their basic needs. An employee may give reason that he or she did not gain much leadership and that was why he or she did not perform well in his position. A child may say that his father does not love him as to compare to his younger sister. Or... "I did not have my morning coffee, so I can't do much work today", kind of thing.

Human are with their own perception about life and about almost everything. They control their own life (they should). For example, I would say that I don't really care about gaining much power at my workplace. But another 'bossy' Manager would say... "Give me the world, and I will change it into better place!".

So let us start with questioning our self... what is our need? What do you want in life? How do you like it to happen? What will be the possibility that you will have it in near future? What motivate you most?
