All humans have a need to feel respected; this includes the need to have [[Self Esteem]] and self-respect. Esteem presents the typical human instinct to be accepted in their community and feel to be a valued member by others. People often engage in activities which give the person a sense of contribution or value. Low self-esteem or an inferiority complex may result from imbalances that have not been addressed or healed, such as unhealed emotional conflicts. People with low self-esteem often look to gain respect from others; they may feel the need to seek fame or glory. However, fame or glory will not help the person to build their self-esteem until they accept who they are internally. Psychological imbalances such as depression can hinder the person from obtaining a higher level of self-esteem or self-respect.Most people have a need for stable self-respect and self-esteem. Deprivation of these needs may lead to an inferiority complex, weakness, and feelings of helplessness. | All humans have a need to feel respected; this includes the need to have [[Self Esteem]] and self-respect.

Self actualization is the level to be able to give expression to the true nature within the essence of the person, and refers to what a person's full potential is and the realization of that potential. It is the feeling to be productive and accomplish everything that one can, to become the most that one can be. Every person is unique and different with what is their highest expression of development and purpose, which is their spiritual self actualization. In order to self actualize all previous needs must be met in order to focus on continual personal development, higher learning and [[Consciousness]] expansion. | |||
