So, what are the 6 needs?

1. Certainty/Comfort – Comfort comes from certainty. Of course there is no absolute certainty but we can always try our very best to make sure that we can deliver and provide what is really expected of us.
2. Variety – It’s a normal human need. While we want certainty, we also want uncertainty. We call this “variety”. Imagine how dull our lives would be without variety…
3. Significance – It’s true… Deep down, we all want to be important. We want our life to have meaning and significance and to know that we all matter or are important to another living being on this earth.
4. Connection/Love - No arguments here, we all need love. How deprived would we be without the existence of love? It is the core reason for everything that we do in this life – and of course we also want to feel loved in return.
5. Growth – Growth is inevitable in life. It’s called evolution. To become better, to improve our skills, to be successful, we all need to continuously grow and learn. Growing is a life long process and doesn’t stop when you leave school.
6. Contribution - Everyone has the desire to contribute something of value, if not to humanity then to their loved ones or the people who are closest to them.
