Make Me Smile Online: To be a bit better than yesterday

A quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson to start :

“It is easy to live for others, everybody does. I call on you to live for yourself.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

To improve and be a bit better than yesterday that is the call to action for you.

To be a better friend

To be a better partner

To be a better lover

To be a better parent

To be a better employee

To be better just for yourself

We have those aspiratons each day to find our own way to happiness, to feel significant and to feel wanted and needed. That is part of life, part of our psyche that calls out and is part of Maslow's hierarchy of needs found at Simply Psycology

The original hierarchy of needs five-stage model includes:

1. Biological and Physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep.

2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, stability, freedom from fear.

3. Love and belongingness needs - friendship, intimacy, affection and love, - from work group, family, friends, romantic relationships.

4. Esteem needs - achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, self-respect, respect from others.

5. Self-Actualization needs - realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.

To be complete we must understand that we are in control of this goal to be happy, and to reach those
levels of self actualization.

To be a bit better than yesterday.... A noble and simple direction.

To learn more than you knew
To listen more than you did the day before
To talk less
To hug more
To love more
To really strive to be better for the world around us.

You have that control and your in control to do this very thing.

So step up to the plate and make it happen. Today and everyday

Be a bit better than yesterday

Sending smiles and care your way
