Level 5. Self-Actualization
"Even if all these needs are satisfied, we may still often (if not always) expect that a new discontent and restlessness will soon develop, unless the individual is doing what he is fitted for. A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately happy. What a man can be, he must be. This need we may call self-actualization." -- Abraham Maslow

"Why not seize pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!" -- Jane Austen, Emma

You'll go to a place on your regular rotation, order takeout from your favorite spot in Thai Town, or step out for a few tacos. Then you'll go home and watch Parks and Recreation. Because it's Thursday.
