Question to Leo . I WISH he helps here

[Past-Philosopher-562]

Hello there ,

I would rush to ask the questions to not waste your time .

I feel stuck most of the time , and I don't know which developmental paths to use . Is it questions in the power of questions , is it DEAL in 4 Hour work week , is type theory in analytical psychology , is it Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs . Man I just feel strangely inept and not knowing what to do ?

I am unemployed , looking for a job , give up my university passion because my father died ,and now I am in paralysis bcs I really don't know which to select . I am looking for some path that is holistic and able to integrate all areas of development as I WORK AND PROGRESS .

I think you are over-theorizing it. At your stage of development you need very basic, tangible, material results and actions. Not sophisticated philosophical theory or models.

Your goal should be to build a career, train up career skills, and develop financial independence -- so that you have resources to work with.

Maslow's Hierarchy of needs is not going to help you find a job or build a career -- which is what it sounds like you need.

I suggest you spend at least a few years focusing on being hyper practical and material. Take the actions necessary to build a career. This mostly means: 1) getting very clear about what your career should be, 2) training the skills needed to do that job, and 3) create a solid portfolio of work that demonstrates your skills to employers. This is how you get hired.

Once you do that, you will be in a good position to do more sophisticated theoretical things.

@Leo Gura

Thank you very much for your advice. I am committed to pushing forward with it. Please bear with me, as I am currently in a self-protective mindset, which is why I tend to seek personal development strategies to address mindset challenges.

That said, how can I best embody your advice moving forward? Should I use the questioning technique you taught us in Power of asking questions , focusing on questions that lead to practical and pragmatic results? I want to make sure I’m applying the right approach to get tangible outcomes in my career development.

I don't know how to answer because your question is too broad. There are 100 different ways you could apply stuff I taught.

@Leo GuraI think I found the Answser how to do it . thank you for your time .

@Leo Gura One thing , do you think even as we speak about this , the meta realisation is that abraham Maslow is still right that there are lower values and higher values and that I am stuck in some cognitive needs activities or need to look for ways to actualise -- Lower needs where I am ungratified , thet unimployment is tied to feeling unsafe , insecure -- the paralysis stems from lack of effectiveness .  I am not doing the right thing .
