This pyramid is called "Maslow's Hierarchy of needs." If you feel like you are struggling in life or hitting a road block - take a moment to self analyze which level you are at within the pyramid. Many people are actually stuck at one of the bottom two tiers.
Living paycheck to paycheck? You may be within the "Safety Needs" level - unable to find "Love and Belonging" because you spend most of your time worried about money and bills. Are you living in an apartment - moving from lease to lease? You may be within the bottom tier and feeling as though you don't have your life grounded.
Find what you need to move up in life! If money is the problem, then work on budgeting skills. If you are in a temporary housing situation, talk to a bank to see what you need to qualify for a mortgage. In an abusive relationship? Find help to get out. Do what it takes to take that step up and find ultimate happiness. If you are happy and near the top of the respective pyramid, then YOU can then help others reach this same goal! Teaching and guiding others will help you grow faster than you can grow alone.
