The Seven Stages Of Our Identity
Sent Monday, November 28, 2011
Dear Yesterday I posted Look In The Mirror it talks about the importance of knowing yourself before you can lead others. (keep reading)
Today I want to dive deeper. I want to explore and share with you seven stages of our personal identity and motivation.
These stages can help us identity who we are and what we stand for.
Without a sense of our own identity we are lost. We do not know where we belong. When we say "I am this". or "I am that" we are indicating to ourselves and others the affiliations or association that are important to us. We are also telling people indirectly who or what we care about. But what happens when we are feeling lost and stuck. The following seven stages can help us identify our identity so when we look in the mirror we can define ourselves.......
Seven Stages of Personal Identity and Motivation:
Survival- is about satisfying our physiological needs and creating a safe and secure environment for ourselves to grow. - by Surviving- we stay alive and we find comfort in our lives.
Relationships- is about satisfying our need for belonging and being loved and accepting those we interact on a daily basis- by relationships we are Conforming- staying safe and loyal to the people in our lives. Self esteem- is about satisfying our need to feel good about ourselves, its about managing our lives and to have pride in our performances- by self esteem- we begin to separate ourselves from others. Transformation- is about becoming more of who you are and about uncovering our authentic self and aligning our mind heart and soul. by Transformation We are exploring who we are and what our talents are... as Carl Jung states you are individuating. Internal Connection- is about finding meaning to your life by aligning with your passion and purpose and creating a vision for the future- By Internal Connection we are self actualizing -we are aligning ourselves to fully be who we are meant to be. Making A Difference- is about actualizing our sense of purpose by cooperating with others for mutual benefit and fulfillment in our lives- by Making A Difference we are integrating and aligning ourselves with others who share the same purpose Service- is about devoting our life to self-less service in pursuit of our passion and purpose by Service we are fulfilling our destiny by giving back to the world. Our mission if we choose to accept it is.... to surrender to our heart. To master the seven stages and stay focused on our vision- mission and purpose. because if we do.....then and only then will we have the ability to respond to the challenges life brings us. Let's open the discussion...Lets become partners and support each other. What stage do you struggle with? What stage do you have questions about? What stage have you mastered?
Can you help someone else master their personal evolution?
