What Needs People Have

Digging into and exploring the idea of basic human needs and the impact of that on mindfulness

I want to share some guidance I have received as I have been walking my own path for mindfulness and conscious reality creation. I listen to and read a lot of books, blogs, and articles in my studies. From time to time I get something I think is really good from someone else.

Whether you consider him a visionary or a shyster, Tony Robbins has been an influential figure in the lives of a great many people over the last several decades. While I do not necessarily agree with everything he presents, he does more often than not seem to share the core, root idea of my own philosophy. Consciousness creates reality, and mindfulness practice manifests it.

One thing Tony Robbins has talked about is what he calls the “Six Core Human Necessities.” I find I am in agreement with this idea.

He postulates that we all need:

· Certainty (the need for security)

· Uncertainty (the need for variety)

· Significance (the need for feeling wanted and worthy)

· Love and connection (the need to love and be loved)
