Since my entrepreneurial experience of promoting a concert resulted in money going out of the bank, it’s hard in that context to think positively about belonging, esteem and self-actualization. I am, however, secure and realistic enough in my own judgement and values that the lack of interest from those who I thought were my friends will not diminish the great time we had with those who attended the concert. AND, I have plenty of “belonging” in my life, my “esteem” is in very good shape and my “self-actualization” is still growing. Life is so amazing, I sometimes just shake my head thinking about it! Take care. Clarence
