Maslow's Hierarchy review in 2 minutes | Others Over Self®

Hey there, others over self society. Shelley here, bringing you a quick two minute review of the lesson that went out last Friday. We've been talking about Maslow's hierarchy of needs and we're using it to help us prioritize all the goals that we have and all those things that we want to accomplish in life. I hope that you've enjoyed spending the last few weeks really considering the different levels of the hierarchy and digging a little bit deeper into your own daily needs. It's a hard thing to do, isn't it? Well, with this in mind, it's time to use your analysis as a foundational building block so that you can get the most out of your next steps. And don't worry, I'm going to help you build out those action items in the coming weeks. So this human hierarchy of needs shows five levels of a pyramid with the goal of being at the top in a state of self actualization. Now, as life hits you with that proverbial left hook, as it's always going to do, you're going to bounce between the levels and that's okay. Just remember what it is. We're aiming for five things. Making morally responsible decisions, living with spontaneity, being a problem solver, looking past prejudice and being accepting of facts. Of course, there's more to it and that's a great place to start. Now, oftentimes, strong people, particularly those like us who are high achievers, we embrace this phrase. You ready? Suck it up and drive on. Well, I actually want to attach a word of caution to this mindset because if we apply that to every area of life, it's going to be very difficult to tell when our needs are not being met. A time of reflection and discernment is necessary if we are wanting to make significant and lasting change. I truly hope that you're enjoying our community and remember that you're not alone. So there are other people just like you who live with that servant heart. It's a hard thing to do. Just wait. In one of the upcoming messages, we've even got a little Kung Fu Panda action planned for you. So that's it for now. I'm Shelley Rude, reminding you that it's important to take time to serve one another. See you soon.
