All my needs are met

What is it that I truly need today? I need food to sustain me, shelter to shield me, and clothing to protect me from the elements. These are what I need for survival. Everything else is what I need to thrive. I need love, a sense of belonging, and purpose. These three needs are associated with connectedness. When we connect to the Universe and our fellow man in positive ways, life feels full. I ask myself, "But what about all the people in the world who don't even seem to have their basic needs met?" It is at this time that I am reminded about my connection to others, even those I have never met. How do I share my good fortune with others? I can contribute financially, become involved with community service, and continue to develop my awareness of what is happening nationally and globally and decide what I can do to effect peaceful change. Then my higher needs are met and I know that I am making a difference through my presence on this planet. What needs are you focusing on today?
