Establishing Your Foundation

Establishing Your Foundation

By Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching

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 only possible when built on a sturdy foundation.
