The secret to happiness is contentment?(Dali Lama) If we are content with what we have, and where we are, then we are happy. This means not grasping for attainment of material objects or even spiritual understanding, but being content and just allowing life to happen. How does this help us to achieve the things we want? I’m glad you asked! This brings me to Maslow’s theory on the hierarchy of human deeds? the answer to that question is revealed within the following explanation and its accompanying story.

Maslow, was an eminent Psychologist who developed a theory on the psychological need of humans; it is often demonstrated in the form of a pyramid, and referred to in relation to Education, Motivation and Sales training. A summary of his theory would be: that we humans have deeds?that must be satisfied in an order of priority, before higher ideals can be achieved the lower ideals MUST be met. The order of these needs doesn’t change from individual to individual, they are as follows: 1. PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS, air, water, food, rest, exercise, etc 2.SAFETY NEEDS, shelter, job security, retirement plan, insurance 3.LOVE AND BELONGING, children, friends, partners 4.SELF ESTEEM (1), fame, recognition, reputation, dignity 5. SELF ESTEEM (2) Confidence, achievements, FREEDOM.

If we don’t meet all the needs in the lower levels we will always be in deficit and be trying to meet them before we can obtain the highest levels of complete self actualization and FREEDOM. Here’s a story I wrote to illustrate Maslow’s theory in a practical situation, it’s illustrated in a negative context because most of us will understand it better this way. Note: (L5) means level 5 as per above. The following is based on a true story; some details have been changed to allow for publishing here. A Person’s car breaks down on an old dirt road in the Barclay plains it’s a scorching 44 degrees in the shade, but there aren’t any trees to provide shelter, he’s in the middle of nowhere, outback, Australia.

He was on his way to Darwin to give a lecture on Self Defence. He had been giving these talks for some time now and really enjoyed sharing his knowledge, not for the respect that others gave him, but because he is a master of the subject and it felt good doing it. (L4/5) When he woke up he realized that he was feeling lonely and would love to have someone to talk to. (L3) After a few hours he started to feel a little uncomfortable and realized that he could be in some danger so he tried to think of a plan for his safety. After some time he decided to head off in search for help.
