Maslow's hierarchy of needs:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Maslow

This is my hierarchy of needs:
these are the things I need to be a successful and content human being

to have people around me who I love and am loved by
a room where I can sleep, smoke and work
high-speed internet and telephone and cable tv
rations--food, beer, cigarettes, pot
creative and productive work
time to do my own work
spell checker

happiness--that's another thing
happiness depends on only one factor:
whether I choose to be happy or not

these are the times when it's easier to be happy:

when I am loving and loved
when I create something that amazes me
when I create something that amazes someone else
when I can be of use, when I can give
when I'm very high
when I think I'm pretty (see previous entry)

What is your hierarchy of needs? And what makes you happy?

Peace – no conflict.
Love – to give and receive.
Health – good health and physical activity.
Food – A well-prepared meal and a family to enjoy it with.
Appreciation – To be appreciated and respected.
Help – People around me who want to help with the day-to-day chores which need to be done.
Time & Companionship– Someone to spend time with me who enjoys spending time with me.
Travel – Someone to go places with me who enjoys my company.
Ears – Someone to listen to me and care about my concerns.
Creativity – The time to create and the satisfaction of having created.
Collaboration – People who enjoy collaborating with me creatively.
Music – People around me who enjoy listening to music with me and creating music with me.
Humor – To be around people who know how to laugh and who enjoy my sense of humor and laugh with me.

.........

And the most important thing of all, to know my children are safe and healthy.
