SIX HUMAN NEEDS 

All human behavior is driven by an instinct to fulfill one or more basic human needs. Abraham Maslow developed a hierarchy of needs model in the 1940/1950s in the USA. The original model defined five human needs, but has been added to and amended over the years. The original needs hierarchy was:

Biological & Physiological needs; (basic life needs air, food, drink, sleep, shelter, warmth, sex etc)

Safety Needs; (protection, order, security, law, stability)

Love & Belongingness Needs; (relationships, family, love, belonging)

Esteem Needs; (responsibility, status, achievement, purpose)

Self Actualisation; (personal fulfillment and growth) 

The Hierarchy of needs is still valid today to understanding motivation and personal development. We are all motivated by needs, unhappiness, stress, lack of direction in our lives all stem from an unfulfilled need. To be fulfilled and happy with life and ourselves we need to fill these six needs in a positive way. 

The Six Needs Are

LOVE & CONNECTION

The need to fill love & connection with and for others. 

PURPOSE

The need to feel we have a purpose in life and are significant and have meaning to others. We are unique, special, and individual. 

CERTAINITY

The need to know that everything is settled and secure. 

UNCERTAINITY

The complete opposite of the above. The need to feel that life is interesting, challenging and exciting 

We all have the ability to get these first four needs fulfilled, even if it is sometimes in a negative way.

The fifth & sixth needs are not met by everyone, yet by attaining them they offer us the key to inner peace and fulfillment. 

GROWTH

The need for the feeling we are growing spiritually, intellectually, physically, mentally. 

GIVING

The need to feel that we are giving of ourselves for the benefit of others. Everyone has their own unique requirements for the fulfillment of the six needs. The degree in which they are met defines our quality of life and happiness. 

Life coaching can help you identify and fulfill these needs and take you from where you are now on the road to a journey of exploration ending in peace and fulfillment
