How Are You Meeting Your Human Needs? – Paul D. Lowe & Lyn Smith
Paul is joined by returning guest, Lyn Smith, who takes over as host, to talk with Paul about the six human needs, as outlined by Anthony Robbins, and how we’re meeting them. Paul talks about his struggles with alcohol addiction and how the six human needs were met by the addiction and how understanding how they work now has helped him remain sober for the last 12 years.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’ve asked people the ‘Indecent Proposal’ question – would you sleep with someone for £1million? Most people say no based on their values. But when you ask what if someone you love needed a life-changing operation, what would you do then? It puts the question in a different context and the values are compromised to meet the need. It’s an extreme hypothetical example, but I do uphold Robbins’ statement that we will compromise our values to meet our needs.
- I was told at a very early age that I had an alcohol addiction and an addictive personality. I believed that to be true, so I set up a self-fulfilling prophecy and drank to outdrink everyone, sabotaging relationships and jobs along the way. I lost everything, consistently. It met my need for certainty, I’d know I was going on a mad bender and I planned for it. It met my uncertainty needed by me not knowing where the night would take me, when it was good it was great and when it was bad… well. The need for significance was met because I stood out from the crowd by doing whatever I was doing. And love and affection was met because women (either romantically or familial) would support and stand by me, no matter what I did and my drinking buddies just accepted me. When I was drinking I knew I’d be coming off it and I’d enter into the light again, meeting my need for growth and contribution because I would give back to those less fortunate.
- When I look back on my life, I embrace it all with warmth, love and gratitude, the tears, the tantrums, the heartache I cause myself and others, because I’ve learned so much from it.
- It’s taken me a few years, but I now feel like I’ve got the balance in life and the six human needs have been absolutely phenomenal in my understanding of how they change people’s lives, once we understand the rules of the game. The more I grow, the more I’m aware and the more I can contribute not just to myself, to become a better version of myself, but the more I can give to leave the world a better place than when I got here.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We’ll go against our values and our morals to get our human needs met.’
‘The four core needs are the need for certainty (control), uncertainty (variety), significance (me, myself and I), love and connection. The two higher needs are the need for growth and the ultimate is the need for contribution’
‘Life is not an exact science, Mother Nature is way beyond us. We don’t need the algorithm of life, we just need to live life being the best we can be.’
‘I always felt I needed to be behind in life to come back twice as hard, only to throw it all away again, like a dog chasing his tail.’
