What I need or want today?
In the midst of the "I Don't Know" phase of growth, it becomes increasingly essential to distinguish between needs and wants.
Needs are the fundamental requirements for sustenance, stability, and well-being, often rooted in the core aspects of life such as food, shelter, and safety. On the other hand, wants are desires that extend beyond these essentials, encompassing our aspirations and luxuries. In this uncertain period, recognizing the difference is crucial.
Focusing on needs helps to ensure our fundamental security and stability, while acknowledging our wants allows us to dream, explore, and discover new possibilities, even when the path forward is unclear. Balancing these distinctions can guide our journey through uncertainty, aiding personal growth and resilience.
