Need Versus Want

Simply put, a man’s wants are Shelter, food, basic amenities and security. These wants are not demanded for their sakes but for what they can generate. Want and need are like the two sides of the same coin. They are independent of each other and yet inseparable. Once there is a want, a need shows up! Without the need, the want is not achieved. There can never be a need without a want. In fact, want creates a need.

What you have been looking for to achieve your dreams is in your ‘Shokoto not in Sokoto’ (An adage-meaning, the solution is within you). What you are really searching for is your need. Your dream is your want. There is a big difference between your want and your need. Once the difference is very clear to you, your breakthrough in life is sure.

Wants are your dreams, aspirations, desires in life while your needs are the requirements to achieve your want. The ultimate goal of wants and needs is self actualization. Self actualization is the principal thing but in getting it, laid hold of self fulfillment and self satisfaction. These are the internal forces, if properly harnessed that drive you to achieve success

Needs are what it will take to achieve your want. Needs are ideas, a strategy, a job, work, begging (A lot people beg nowadays). These needs are not supplied for the face value alone but for what they can deliver. The principal thing a need delivers is performance. In receiving it, get treatment or inspiration or grace and relationship. Needs are the external forces that influences your passion to achieve your want.

Wants are like demands while needs are like supply. Wants are the desires while needs are like the purchasing power. The world system demands that for you to be successful, you must have raps, swag and must look sexy. We all want to be successful. Success could be defined as being satisfied in life or being fulfilled in life or a state of being satisfied and fulfilled and helping others to be likewise (Self actualization). There are levels in life. The lowest level of a successful life is satisfaction while the highest is self actualization-helping others to succeed in life. But how you mix your raps, swag and your sexy looks to build profitable relationship will determine your level in life. A relationship that is not backed by performance and treatment or inspiration or grace is not profitable. People do not pay for product or services, they pay for the relationship we cultivate through the product we offer and services rendered.

Our product or services are our fruits. We express ourselves through our product and services for profitable relationship. The essence of our wants and needs is exchange (like the coin) for profitable relationship. Wants are given but needs are sought after but not in ‘Sokoto but in shokoto’ (It lies within)
