1#. I think that Maslow’s needs are pretty applicable to my own life as each category from the down up ties into the other very well. I feel like starting at the bottom of the pyramid is the most important and everything must be met as it works its way up. In order to truly reach the full potential at the top, the bottom tiers truly do need to be met. Nothing can be built on without the core essentials of living with food, water, shelter, etc. Every tier builds on upon another until the top and it all makes sense, you need the bottom essentials to truly be able to reach the top. Advice that I would give someone to stay motivated on their goal to reach full potential is to keep growing. Keep living with an open mind and to keep being themself. These things are important to truly reach next steps when already pretty high up on the pyramid. Eventually the top of the pyramid will be reachable, as all goals are within reach with hard work.

Masslow’s Hierarchy of needs is definitely applicable to my own life. This is the theory that fits
the hierarchy of my life.
I believe that at the bottom of Maslow’s Hierarchy needs pyramid are definitely the first set to get
before any other can be gotten. My reason for agreeing with Maslow’s theory is , because the facts that
we , as humans, will concentrate first on our needs that keep us alive , healthy and going so that we
may reach the other levels of this hierarchy. If, we get hungry, then it is our natural instinct to find food
to fill that hunger feeling., because it is a bad feeling if not atteneded too. The same goes for feeling
cold and the natural instinct to find warmth in whatever form it may be in.
My life following Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs goes as follows:
FIRST LEVEL– Physological needs: Crying for a bottle as a baby, waiting for Sunday lunch from mama, standing in line at catfateria at school for lunch
2nd LEVEL–Safety Needs: Feeling safe at home with mama and daddy’s, getting dorm room in college, growing up getting first place alone and paying all your bills for the first time.
3rd LEVEL– Belongingness & Love : First love, getting married, accepted by classmates, my teacher, by family. Belonging to other half’s family, my family, my friends.
4th LEVEL–Esteem: Learning to love myself for me, Self-awareness, self-love, accomplished,achieving my goals & being recognized for who I am, what I have accomplished , How far I have come.
5th LEVEL– First day of kindergarten, learning my a,b,c,’s & 1,2,3,’s, graduating high school, graduating coillege
6th LEVEL–Self-actualizationneeds– coming of age, starting menstrul cycle, own identity,self-style, being myself
My advice for self-actualization would be to stay focused on your goals, keep your self motivated by any means possible, but have fun at it. Do not be too serious and laugh a little. Take little breaks when possible so you won’t burn-out. Be confident in your self and your skills and know your limitations. Always love yourself and stay physically & mentally healthy.(meditate, exercise,talk to advisors and counselors).
