I believe that all people are looking for three things in life. These are desires that everyone seeks in life, no matter who you are or what your goals may be. The three things are; acknowledgement, acceptance and understanding.
My experience online and in the real world tells me that most people want to be acknowledged, accepted and understood. Just think about that for a moment and see how it fits into your life.
Acknowledgement is a great motivator, and that’s the reason why we have so many awards given in so many areas of our lives. Best salesmen, best actor, most likely to succeed, and the list goes on.
The need for acceptance is an innate, psychological, social demand that has been with us since the beginning of time. We humans tend to gravitate toward groups and seek acceptance from those group members.
Finally, there is the need to be understood, as understanding is one of the key components in all healthy and loving relationships.
Give this some thought today as you think about the state of your professional and personal relationships, and ask yourself if these three things are included. If they're not included, ask yourself why aren't they included!
God Bless You All,
Love, Marilyn
