Core Needs

According to world renowned motivational speaker Anthony Robbins, there are 6 core human needs. These needs underlie and inspire every choice we make. They are universal within every individual. The key to profound and rapid change lies in our ability to recognize and manage these needs, as they are the motivation and driving force behind all our behaviors. The 6 Human Needs provide a practical key for discovering ones needs, behaviors, values, beliefs and the vehicles we use to meet our needs. These needs assist in uncovering what is preventing someone from being happy and fulfilled. According to Anthony Robbins, the Six Core Human Needs are: 1) CERTAINTY - The need to feel safe, comfortable, secure, stable, protected, and have predictability in out lives. 2) SIGNIFICANCE - The need to feel important, achievement, respect, special, needed, wanted and unique in our lives. 3) VARIETY/UNCERTAINTY - The need to feel different, challenged, risk, change, excitement, surprise and entertained in our lives. 4) CONECTION / LOVE - The need to feel togetherness, passion, unity, warmth, desire and love in our lives. 5) GROWTH - The need to feel like we are developing, learning, strengthening, expanding, and cultivating ourselves. 6) CONTRIBUTION - The need to feel like we are giving, donating, leaving our mark, serving, offering and contributing to others. The first four needs; Certainty, Significance, Connection/Love and Variety/Uncertainty are essential to human survival and must be met daily. The last two needs Growth and Contribution are the needs of the spirit, and not everyone finds a way to satisfy them, although they are necessary for lasting fulfillment in life.
