What needs on this hierarchy do you consciously seek or strive for in your current life? Do you see the relevance of this hierarchy to your own life?

This week is all about adulthood. Once thought to be a relatively stable and consistent phase of life, it didn’t take much additional research to understand that adults still grow, change, and evolve in ways which might not be as obvious as a child’s change earlier in life. The adult, as any living organism, especially as complex as a human being, continues to pursue needs, and this is a big part of how they develop. Below is the classic hierarchy of needs by Maslow which the textbook reproduced:

Maslow’s hierarchy

For this week’s discussion post, consider which needs have been most impactful on your life thus far. What needs on this hierarchy do you consciously seek or strive for in your current life? Do you see the relevance of this hierarchy to your own life? Are the higher “needs” like “esteem” and “self-actualization” something you believe you “need” or strive for in your life? Why or why not?

This is a personal discussion, so please do not feel obligated to reveal any personal information which you would prefer to remain private, and when reading or responding to others’ posts, it is incredibly important and absolutely expected that you do so with respect, openness, and patience.
