Are your needs being met?

Are your needs being met? This is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The base line (red) is sleep, food & water. The next step (orange) is shelter, safety, and money. The middle line (yellow) is relationships, a sense of belonging and community. Once these first three steps are being met, and are solid, you are able to progress to a level of achievement (green) and creation, creating art, music, and beauty.

The top tier, the ultimate goal, is self-actualization, or realization that you have value and knowledge to offer the world. It is teaching, mentoring, and lifting others up along their journey.

These levels can fluctuate from day to day or week to week, but the purpose is to recognize your worth, your power, your ability and opportunity to influence the world.

Where are the pyramid are you? Where do you want to be?
