Anyone who has travelled with me in a car knows I love listening to self-help cds. It is one way that I invest in myself, as well as utilize my time to the fullest. Rather than listen to negative media, or bad music all the time I listen to various speakers, Les Brown, Brian Tracey, Craig Grochel and probably my all-time favorite Anthony Robbins. Anthony Robbins talks 6 essentials of what we as humans need. Sometimes they conflict with each other and sometimes they can cause both pain and pleasure. But if we dig down through everything we will discover these 6 basic needs. Once we understand these 6 basic needs, we can use this knowledge to help to change our habits. Here are Anthony Robbins 6 Human Needs
1. Certainty: assurance you can avoid pain and gain pleasure. If I want certainty, I replay the same song or movie because I know what to expect. There are no surprises. The past does not equal the future.
2. Uncertainty/Variety: the need for the unknown, change, new stimuli. There is uncertainty in everyday and what we do with that uncertainty that shows our character. The only certain thing in life is that there is uncertainty.
3. Significance: feeling unique, important, special or needed. We all want to be important or standout, and have a purpose. We can heal ourselves from so many things by holding onto our purpose.
4. Connection/Love: a strong feeling of closeness or union with someone or something. The thought that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves will drive us to want to connect with people. If I help enough other people get what they want I will always get what I want and deserve.
5. Growth: an expansion of capacity, capability or understanding. Constant and never ending improvement towards a worthwhile goal it is the foundation of the daily habits we need to create for ourselves. What are you doing today to help you overcome what you could not do yesterday? Step in to the unknown by choice!
6. Contribution: a sense of service and focus on helping, giving to and supporting others. Understanding that you do not climb the high mountain alone and if you want to get to the top of the mountain then you have to help others get there before you. Live full Die Empty
Respectfully,
Mr. Chris Rowe
