Among these needs are friendships and family bonds—both with biological family parents, siblings, children) and chosen family (spouses and partners).

ESTEEM NEED

The higher needs, beginning with esteem, are ego driven needs. The primary elements of esteem are self-respect (the belief that you are valuable and deserving of dignity) and self-esteem (confidence in your potential for personal growth and accomplishments). Maslow specifically notes that self-esteem can be broken into two types: esteem which is based on respect and acknowledgment from others, and esteem which is based on your own self assessment. Self-confidence and independence stem from this latter type of self-esteem.

SELF- ACTUALIZATION

describes the fulfilment of your full potential as a person. Sometimes called self fulfillment needs, self-actualization needs occupy the highest spot on Maslow’s pyramid. It includes education, skill development- the refining of talents in areas such as music, athletics, design, cooking, and broader goals like learning a new language, travelling to new places, and winning awards.
