Knowledge – develops due to your MATURITY. Your TESTMONY becomes filled with numerous examples of “what I’ve learned” & “what I’ve experienced” due to the foundational Faith choice that resulted in actions one would NOT have chosen if remaining in self-interest….. this leads to the ability of…..
Self-Control – When faced with the temptation to act upon one’s selfish desires, the testimony from above allows one to choose Faith in God’s way (the application of Emotional Intelligence) rather than self-justification (being driven by feelings), which leads to……

________________ proposed a theory in psychology called the Hierarchy of Needs in 1943
Abraham Maslow

What are the five levels of the Hierarchy of Needs ?
Physiological Needs (food, water, sleep, shelter, etc.)
Safety Needs (personal security, emotional security, financial security, Health, etc.)
Social Belonging (friendships, intimacy, family)
Self-esteem (ego or status needs; getting recognition, status, and respect from others)
Self-actualization (a person reaching their full potential)
80
What is the logical fallacy one would find when attempting to follow the principles of this model?
The logical fallacy is that a person who spends all their time and energy in pursuit of attaining these steps for themselves won’t be able to then be “all they can be” for others; they will just be very good at being selfish. Maslow himself criticized his original version with his theory of “transcendence”; which states that an individual finds the fullest realization in giving oneself beyond oneself.
