The Pyramid of Needs

Welcome in the Friday refresh brought to you by Team Ben and Travis for St Jude Marathon weekend. We have several people  who have signed up to run on our team and many more who have given to this great cause. You can donate here https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Heroes/SJMMW?team_id=315929&pg=team&fr_id=158671. Josh Thorne and I are still trying to reach our $4000 commitment each and we could use your help. That’s BenandTravis.com and the St Jude tab.

What does your pyramid look like? Is it fully constructed? Or is it stuck in the middle of construction somewhere?

I guess I should explain before I ask questions like that.

I’m sure at some point in your high school or collegiate career you have come across Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Abraham Maslow proposed that these five needs are the motivators behind human behavior. They start at the bottom of the pyramid with the most basic of needs and work up to the more complicated and self-realized toward the top.

Initially it was believed the lower goals always had to be completed first with a linear view of how they are accomplished, it is accepted now that different individuals and cultures may achieve various levels at different times.
