6 Human Needs

Tony Robbins talks about 6 human needs and how they impact our lives. The six needs are:

1. Certainty - meaning that we need certainty in our lives for some level of security.


2. Uncertainty - meaning that we need variety or we would be bored out of our minds with total certainty.


3. Significance - can also be called importance. We need to feel significant or needed.


4. Connection & Love - I think this need speaks for itself.


5. To Grow - We need to grow as human beings. When we stop growing we will become unhappy or depressed - even give up!


6. To contribute - When you contribute to something you believe in how does that make you feel? Not only do you feel important, but you know you are doing something good. It is the final step in a fulfilled life.

I'm finding that by living life and keeping these 6 needs in mind and how they work, I am constantly making a lot of new distinctions about my life. The keys is to find balance between them all.
