21 ISSUE 01 | Q1 2023 A R T I C L E E very human being is unique, with different thoughts, emotions, perceptions, aspirations and ways of deal- ing with life. However, each one of these values and beliefs is driven by 6 basic human needs, which are the same for everyone, says Robbins. The difference among in- dividuals originates from the ways in which each individual prioritizes these needs and makes decisions accordingly. In this respect, every dysfunctional behavior (but also every successful accomplishment) originates from the in- ability (or ability accordingly) to consistently meet these six needs. Let’s take a closer look: #1 Certainty: The need for assurance Certainty is the need to feel safe, secure, and free from worry and doubt. This need is closely related to the need for comfort and is often expressed through routines and rituals. People who need to feel certain may find comfort in familiar environments and in knowing what to expect. The same people may get stressed in case they miss this certainty and may seek out stability and predictability in order to feel safe. #2 Uncertainty/Variety: The need for the unknown Do you find yourself in need of changing jobs frequently? Uncertainty, as one of the six human needs, refers to the need to be mentally and emotionally challenged; the need to experience new stimuli and variety. By embracing uncertainty and navigating the unknown, you can remain open-minded and adaptive to change. Uncertainty can also create an environment of exploration and growth, as you can never be quite sure what is around the corner. Have you ever wondered what is driving your career decisions? How do you measure suc- cess in life? Why did you behave in a specific way to that coworker? All of these questions can be answered when you identify how you prioritize the six basic human needs, says life coach and author Tony Robbins. HOW ARE YOU MAKING DECISIONS?
