Maslow has given a heirarchy of needs, starting form biological needs, safety and security, love and belongingness, then self-esteem and finally self-actualization. He said that needs at each rung needs to be fulfilled then only one can focus on actualizing the true potential one has. In other words, if one is hungry then he/she cannot focus on giving and recieving love from one another. If a person's basic need of hunger and thirst is not fulfilled then the person cannot focus on enhancing self-esteem. Similarly, if a person is not safe and secure, he cannot focus on realizing his/her true potential or what he/she is capable of becoming.

This means that if one is not hungry, is working in a safe enviornment, have people who love him, has completed the process of having self-esteem then only he/she can work upon helping others in need (self-actualization).
