Maslow's hierarchy of needs=> Top tier + ATOT

[JEDI]

Link

The top tier of Maslow's hierarchy is Self-actualization. Anyone can reach it no matter where you currently are on the hierarchy.

Basically, it's acceptance of facts, and lack of prejudice.

If someone makes fun of you or acts like a jerk, it's not you. It's them... it's the way THEY were raised. Just think of what kind of person needs to put someone down to get himself up.

As for acceptance of facts, dont get on the hamster wheel and try to keep up with society's expectations. Accept who you are.

ie:
Don't Keep up with the Jone's and buy bling... Bigger house, bigger car, 60" LCD TV to hang on the wall, etc.
dont beat yourself up because you dont look like a size 2 model no matter how hard you try.
Accept that you may live life alone, no matter how many brides you order. And that the Internet is your best friend.


Embrace the facts and realities of the world (including yourself) rather than denying or avoiding them.

The nature of Maslow's hierarchy is that you can't move up the pyramid until you meet the needs of your current tier. When you have no friends and live in your mother's basement, it is kind of hard to get past the esteem tier...

i have applied variations of maslow's triangle at work to management to try to show them how by not satisfying the basic needs of employees, you can never empower them to reach higher levels.

but they don't get it. i think i was too abstract for them

how come I have parts of the top triangle while only partially the lower tiers? Or you need only 1 of each? Perhaps those definitions are a bit loose, eh?

are you encouraging people to accept mediocrity and failure because that is what there current situation is? Maybe your examples weren't very good.

in who's eyes?

A person working as a trashman might be happy that he's doing his job well + efficiently.

Like i said in my OP, Screw society's expectations and pressures

ok yeah i think your example was bad though "Accept that you may live life alone, no matter how many brides you order. And that the Internet is your best friend. "

sounds like you are telling people to just accept their inadequacies rather than better themselves.....thats just how your examples came across to me.

Hey OP, I wonder where does judging someone based on their PPD fits into all this?
