The Big Idea – 6 Human Needs

This is from an excellent Tony Robbins talk. Nice to have this summarized by Brian Johnson..

Tony likes to say we have six fundamental needs. The needs for 1. Consistency; 2. Inconsistency; 3. Significance; 4. Connection/Love; 5. Growth; 6. Contribution.

Now, all of these needs are present and important. The question that’ll shape our destiny is, which are our top needs?!?

Is it Consistency? If this runs the show, we’re afraid of change and can’t dare to take a new step.

Is it Inconsistency? If so, we need to always be at the edge and can’t relax.

Is it Significance? If so, we’ve gotta look good at all times and impress the world.

Is it Connection/Love? If so, we need to feel connected and loved above all else and may sacrifice our authentic selves if turned up too high.

Is it Growth? If so, we need to feel the sense of expansion and evolution into our highest selves.

Is it Contribution? If so, we need to feel that we’re giving our greatest gifts in the greatest service to the world.

Again, we want to work with and master all of these, but what’s running your show these days? In your most freaked out moments? In your highest moments? The ideal two or three to lead the show? Growth, Contribution and Love. Lead with those and then the rest will flow…
