Personal Power Day 6: Driving Force - Your Six Human Needs

So what  are the 6 human needs, according to Big Tony?

Certainty vs Uncertainty/Variety 

Significance vs Connection & Love

Growth and Contribution.

A Class 1 experience:

• feels good - satisfies at least 4 of the 6 human needs.
• is good for you
• is good for others
• serves the greater good

2. Most people want to avoid Class 2 experiences, but mastering them brings us the most joy, growth and fulfillment.

A Class 2 experience:

• does not feel good
• is good for you
• is good for others
• serves the greater good

3. Nonproductive Class 3 experiences provide immediate pleasure but eventually destroy our quality of life and give us ultimate pain. Drinking or eating to excess could fit into this category.

A Class 3 experience:

• feels good
• is not good for you
• is not good for others
• does not serve the greater good

4. People often indulge in Class 4 experiences as a result of peer pressure, conditioning or old belief systems. Smoking cigarettes, for example, usually doesn’t feel good the first time, yet many people continue to do it.

A Class 4 experience:

• does not feel good
• is not good for you
• is not good for others
• does not serve the greater good

The secret to a happy and fulfilled life is learning to convert Class 2 experiences into Class 1—making the process of doing them feel good as well as be good.

Writing Music 

Certainty - Develop a routine - 24 minutes a day. Remember - a composer composes.

Uncertainty/Variety - feel free to leap between genres and projects. Move when it feels hard.

Significance - Share your music with people. Register your music with APRA

Connection & Love - Play your music with and for people.

Growth - listen and develop your skills as a composer/songwriter.  Increase your technical  and playing skills.

Contribution - Be willing to be of service to people who need composed music.

Let's see how that works out!
