The Different Stages of Development
4. Do you believe that when a person fails to manage a stage in his/her personal
development, self-actualization will not be reached as well? Justify your
answer.
I believe that every stage in a person’s life is important in reaching his or her
actual self. It is connected, and related to each of them. However, I also believe that
when you fail to manage a certain stage in your personal development, you can still
try to succeed. You have multiple changes to try in order for you to move forward to
the next stage. Thus, when you fail you must try your best to succeed on that specific
need, in order for you to reach the self-actualization. For example, in Maslow’s
Hierarchy of needs, you must reach the esteem needs to actually move forward to the
self-actualization. That’s why when you fail to have the self-esteem, you cannot
achieve your full potential.
Motivation is a driving force that accounts for the way individual acts or
behaves in certain situations and overall in life. It affects the willingness of a person
to give his/her effort on something. In addition to that, it is a gateway to many
opportunities because it can lead us to fulfill our goals and to be succesful. Thus,
when a person recievedn a higher motivation, it can lead to an afficient behavior.
Whereas, absecense of motivation may lead to procrastination and negative effect on
his/her perspective in life.
