Are you aware of what your deepest needs are as a human being?

Every woman and man has only 6 basic human needs to various degrees:

1. Certainty (The desire to know and feel certain about important aspects of our life)
2. Uncertainty (The desire for variety and adventure that makes our life interesting)
3. Significance (The desire to be highly regarded and recognised by others)
4. Love/Connection (The desire to give and receive love and experience fulfilling relationships)
5. Growth (The desire to grow and evolve physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually)
6. Contribution (The desire to share from the heart and contribute beyond ourself)

Here is the key: Desires 1-4 are the needs of the Ego and although they can bring great joy and are a valuable part of our life, they will not provide the lasting deep happiness and fulfilment that we are longing for.

The last two needs: Growth and Contribution are the needs of our soul and provide all we are looking for in the other four needs. We just don’t know it and it’s easy to get lost in searching for true freedom and fulfilment where it cannot permanently be found.

The answer is to predominantly focus on growth and contribution in our life - and all other needs will be taken care of as if by magic.
Let’s ask ourselves constantly: What knowledge, talent, money, time, love, wisom, jokes etc. can I share with someone today? How can I give and contribute in many different ways?

How can I be more true, loving and accepting of myself and others and grow and evolve my heart, mind and body a little more every day?
If we keep asking ourself these questions and act according to our inner answers we will find what we were looking for and more.
With love and highest regards,
