Success in life happens on top of a solid foundation of basic needs.

 

In 1954, Abraham Maslow released Motivation and Personality. He expanded on his Hierarchy of Needs theory.

 

Maslow suggested that to reach your full potential:

 

1) You must provide for your physiological needs.  Food, clothing, shelter, money, and more. 

 

2) You must feel safe.   Personally, emotionally, financially, health and well-being, and against accidents and illness.

 

3) Socially you need to feel a sense of loving and belonging.

 

4)  Esteem and the desire for acceptance, respect, and valued by others is your next step.  Maslow said, “What a man can be, he must be.”  Self-actualization requires mastery of your previous needs.

 

6) Self-transcendence removes you from ego and begins your focus on the greater good.

Your best life is built on a sturdy foundation.  Make sure you can eat, pay your bills, feel safe and have friends.  Then you can change the world.
