Creating Greater Contribution

Our highest purpose is self actualization

Our greatest happiness can come from contributing to the greater good.

Without close observation we might wonder why at the end of successful careers or having achieved financial success many people go into lives of public service. Why don’t they say, “I have arrived and now it’s going to be all about me.”

Ex President Bill Clinton ended a controversial but successful political career with popularity, wealth, and influence. What could one do that was of higher esteem than being President of the United States?

Global Public Service.

Being the President serves the public but it is also a process of self actualization. In the process of building a political career and creating power and influence, one is still very egocentric.

There are many ways to serve the greater good. It can be 100% altruistic wherein no monetary reward is received for devoting time and effort to a cause. We can devote our core competencies to serving the public for remuneration when our efforts are aimed at making lives better.

What is self actualization?

It is becoming who we are and exercising our given and developed talents to express our passions.

Self actualization is an unfolding. It might be like the flower that opens to the morning sun. It might be a peeling of the orange to reach the essence. It might be the growth of the acorn into a mighty oak tree. It is becoming and uncovering to reach the zenith of who we are as an individual but increasing our feeling of being totally connected.

Chaos Theory asks and answers the question of whether a butterfly flapping its wings in Argentina can create a tornado in Texas. Through negative or positive feed back loops, the smallest action can have non linear results. An example is a freak 120 foot wave in 45 foot seas.

An example is how an earthquake in Japan can shut down a Volvo plant in Sweden. An example is how a revolutionary thought in Tunisia can cause several nearby governments to collapse.

We can never under estimate the potential of our own self actualization.

It seems that once we have self actualized we want to contribute. We can do both.

We can pursue our passions and enhance our self actualization through healthy eating, fitness, spiritual growth, and positive thinking. As we develop our passions we will see the path to contributing to community.

We don’t have to be the President of the United States. Everyone of us has something worthwhile to contribute and can create a great influence on the global community. At a certain point, if everyone is self actualizing, the consciousness of the whole community becomes elevated.
