Maslow's triangle - Compass for life

Living is like the art of sculpting - We continuously are carving and shaping ourselves.

I appreciate all those out there who are facing the life posing challenges with all the guts, gathering all their strengths. This post is one little reminder to all those brave soldiers in the war of life.

A firm base is required for anything to stand in balance. And human being is no exception.

Be it Science or Bhagavat Gita or any rationally modeled scripture... have provided few guidelines to help us sort out our "What to do~*&@#@**! NOW" kind of confusions.

Someone who doesn't believe in God n scriptures can be called an atheist. But to deny science is being foolish. So, if not scriptures, at least we should respect Science.

Maslow's triangle is the most simple, yet the best compass to direct our boat in the right path in the ocean of life.


Bottom up. That's the order we need to prioritize our needs... "most of the times".
Instead, "most of the times" we topsy-turvy the whole triangle and stand on one vertex :)



Standing on a vertex - losing all balance, one collapses, crashing other people around.. If luck is on our side, we depend on others' - to stand, still with our wrong order of priorities!!

This sure causes tensions in relations, health and hence, DAMN affecting everything else that the ppl are involved with. Resulting in a kind of pressure (differences). [My logical brain says that pressure differences cause cyclones. Can be applied here too??!]

Whom to blame for all the disaster? Destiny? Fate?? Others??
No, its YOU, of course!! to stand on a pointed vertex.

Destiny is something beyond our hands. So, lets not talk about it.
But this is something in our hands!! This is about our 'Self'. You are the architect of your own 'Self'.

I sure understand that its NOT easy to hold on to oneself at times of crisis. But we got to realize that 'not being able to hold on to oneself' just makes things worse.


So, guys! leave destiny and get back to job. Checkout yourself. Step-up and Workout to get a strong base. The rest can be constructed from there on.

Keep your priorities right and Have a happy life. You deserve it.
Good luck!
