Abraham Maslow had a theory that we are motivated according to a hierarchy of needs.  His categories of needs include Physiological, Safety, Love/Belonging, Esteem, and Self Actualization.  His premise of course is that the needs higher up on the pyramid (Self Actualization) cannot be met without meeting the lower needs first.  If that is indeed the case, does that mean a person will never be able to gain self respect or the respect of others (Esteem) without being able to provide food for himself or his/her family first?  A mother’s ability to nurture her children and a father’s need to provide for his family are at the very core of what makes us human.  We are trending toward a dangerous ratio of more children dropping out of school than the number of their parents that graduated.  These are the early warning signs that our children will not be able to provide for themselves or anyone else, therefore leading to a land full of self doubting adults and ill prepared parents for the next generation.  Perhaps Maslow’s theory should be turned upside down and make self respect as important a priority as food and water.

My challenge to you this week is to tell a child or young adult that they matter and you are counting on them for our future.  Tell them that they can count on you to see them through the tough times.  Explain that their self respect will not be measured solely on what they accumulate in life but more importantly what they allocate to others.  Make clear to them that as they get older their ability to provide for themselves and others is dependant on how serious they take their journey today.  The time for coddling and sugar coating is officially over.  Step up and be a leader today and have this conversation with someone who needs it now.
