Basic needs and progress

 What are our basic needs that will form the bedrock upon which we build progress/suffer setbacks?


A safe and stable place to live. 

Medical care

Food

Clothes

Above are the basics to survive. Mess them up and everything else crumbles quick.

But get them right, you’ll live. But barely.

Why

Relationships and meaning are next to ensure you thrive 

A toxic relationship wears you down. It’s like friction on your supposedly smooth slide to happiness 

No matter how much you push, the friction slows or even stops you. 

Doesn’t matter how nice your home is, how good your medical care is , how much good food and clothes you have.

So, unless you want to walk around like a zombie
