Abraham Maslow Quote

Abraham Maslow Quote about growth

What’s Up With Pooj?

Not much up with me recently… Just kidding, of course there is but mostly because I’m melodramatic. Anyway, last week I was really busy with my book and didn’t even have time to post much on here. So, as a treat at the end of the week my cousin brothers and I decided to go to dinner and visit the first ever vegan fair in Kenya! And the second one held in East Africa. It was incredible and expect a post about it very soon.

In other news, I finally watched Saltburn and although I loved it, I do understand why so many people either love or hate it. I feel like it’s definitely not for everyone. But if you’re a fan of psycho-thrillers (or Jacob Elordi lol), I would really recommend it. It’s so artsy and uniquely made. I feel like there hasn’t been too much originality in this genre recently but the last two years is bring it back.

What I’m Listening To Right Now

I love The Smiths and listened to them a lot as a teenager but sort of forgot about them as an adult. However, I remembered how much I used to enjoy this song and started listening to them again. This song is so relatable to me as a chronic people pleaser.

    Hey Pooj, good to have you back. Family is always fun to hang out with.
    The quote is kind of implying that growth is not safe lol I choose to grow safely if possible 🙂 anyways, last weekend we went cross country skiing and watched a movie about Freud and CS Lewis at the theatre. both activities were not super safe cause skiing is a sport and theatres are full of people coughing and sneezing, based on the quote I chose to risk, I chose growth. it was fun too

      Lol, I think it’s more so just about getting out of your comfort zone 😅 That sounds like fun minus the coughing and sneezing. Growth is great and glad you had fun.

    I love the quote. I’m so happy you are working on your book. However, we miss your musings on here. I don’t know if I loved “Saltburn” but, it was very well made. I should review it on my blog but, I give too much away.

    Ahh glad to know that.

    I haven’t heard of that movie. I only watch stuff if it’s available on Netflix 😜

    I watched railway men, it’s based on Bhopal gas leak( if you are aware of that)

    I’m glad you are managing time for blogging while being busy. Plus, going out is a bonus

    Take care dear friend 🤗

            This was good
            It tells a lot about our past

            You had history as subject.
            You should know about it bud. It was horrific, people were clueless and helpless.

    The quotation by Maslow is good. Growth is key in his thinking, overall. I’m glad you’re making progress with your book–and you got to take part in the special festival. I just got back from a trip to Pittsburgh (a couple hundred miles from here) where I picked up a car that had belonged to my brother. My car had been totaled while it was parked in front of my building. Sad and helpful timing.

    The quote resonated with me. I loved the video. The one line that caught my ear was about kicking someone in the eye. Inquiring minds would like to know who you would kick in the eye. 🙂

      It’s funny because that’s my favourite line from the song. I can think of a number of people who I would rather kick in the eye but I’ll keep smiling for now haha. Glad you enjoyed the quote and the video.

    My two cents worth.
    “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,/Than are dreamt of in your philosophy” (Hamlet, 1.5. 165–66).”

    We are propelled forward in life whether we intend or pretend it is our choice, especially during pivotal transitions. Our courage is manifested in accepting that whatever becomes of us is a necessity that extends beyond our mortal understanding or dreams.

      I quite like that quote, it’s quite accurate. At least according to my beliefs.

      It’s true. Personally, I think we don’t control life and life happens whether we like it or not. Sometimes we don’t know why something is happening but it’s all a part of the greater plan. All we can do is our best.

    So true. If you don’t get out of your comfort zone, take risks and go for it, you don’t grow; you stagnate.
    We watched Saltburn last week. A great film but I found it very disturbing.

      Yeah, that’s exactly how I feel too. You need to leave your comfort zone to grow.

    Stepping back into safety is technically stagnating, and since time is passing and everything is still moving and changing, stagnating actually means falling behind. Too much of that state, and I don’t even think that would create comfort but rather constraints in your process of growth. It’s only comfortable and permissible for a little while until the distance between your goals and where you are is almost too far to cross anymore.
    I love hearing updates about your book, by the way! 😀

      That’s true. Stagnancy is a real problem because like you said the world keeps spinning but you’re stuck. And yeah, it feels good to stay where you are but over time you fall behind and you stop feeling as comfortable.

      Thank you! ☺️

    Pooja, your use of the Maslow quote took me back to my teacher preparation time in college and later a career in the classroom. I’ve been retired for nearly six years, but I stay plugged in to teaching as two of my daughters are teachers.
