Why We Do What We Do | Tony Robbins Podcast

Why do we do what we do? You might think you want one thing, let’s say, a job in a new industry, but then when it’s actually in your grasp, you sabotage yourself. Why? Why do you pursue some things and neglect others? Why do you date the people you do, work in your field or, for that matter, choose to not do other things?
It’s all because, subconsciously, you’re trying to fulfill your basic human needs. There are 6 human needs - emotional needs - that every single person on the planet has. This podcast dives deep into the basic needs of humans, as explained by Tony Robbins from his 2006 TED Talk, “Why We Do What We Do.” This talk has been viewed millions of times and was one of the first ever TED Talks.
Every single person fulfills these needs in different ways. That’s because even though we all have the same six needs, we value them differently. There are millions of stories out there created by different people, but once you know which needs are driving someone to make the decisions they do, you’ll understand them completely. Whether it’s compatibility in a romantic relationship or for a corporate partnership, you’ll be able to predict their behavior and be able to evaluate if you’re compatible.
The six human needs are:
1. Certainty. We all need to feel certain that we can avoid pain and also feel joy.
2. Uncertainty/variety. This is the need for spontaneity, to keep things exciting and fresh.
3. Significance. Who doesn’t want to feel important? Feeling valued is an essential part of being human.
4. Love and connection. Without love and connection, all the other successes you face in life are meaningless. By being able to form a connection and share your deepest thoughts and feelings with another person, you’re making yourself feel totally alive.
5. Growth. As Tony Robbins often says, “If you’re not growing, you’re dying.” Humans need to be working toward something, whether it’s growing a career, relationship or working toward achieving personal fulfillment.
6. Contribution. We seek fulfillment so we can ultimately give the world and the people we love something of value.
Which two of the six needs do you value most in life? Do you crave certainty and significance? Does growth and variety appeal to you above all else? Depending on which two needs drive your thoughts and behaviors, your attempts to fulfill these needs will drive you toward your ultimate destiny. To find out more about the core needs that drive all our decisions, continue listening to this episode of the Tony Robbins podcast.

Thank you, Tony. I learned so much. I have heard some of these needs before, but it is great to hear them again. I need to study more. I recognize why I did things the way I did them years ago. I am growing into a persistent person. I have been resilient. I create new goals and act on them.

Very good

[@PracticalInspiration]

Fantastic listen! Number six, without wanting to give weight on one over others, is one very personal to me and the reason I started my channel. I really believe that by giving to others will lead towards happiness, as we judge our legacy based on how others remember us

[@robertsalazar5497]

Indeed! The legacy I leave will not be measured through my net worth but by how many people I touched through genuine and selective sharing of those invaluable "nuggets" learned in my lifetime that I passed along and were remembered and cherished forever.

[@eyad.alshami]

nice

[@koinoniaconnection2773]

He refers to God as a woman saying "God in HER infinite wisdom created uncertainty"- That was enough to lose a God fearing woman's attention. He does have some good points yet it's a substitute. Instead of becoming Christ like you make yourself better. While it can help you be a better person in this life it doesn't guarantee the next life. Jesus does.

[@morphkogan8627]

Lol wtf are you talking about delusional worshipper

[@micahfong6476]

what better form of worship is there than to become your best version of yourself?... 1 Peter 4:11 we are to be "LIVING sacrifices"... and if you know anything about sacrifices that are offered to God, they are supposed to be the BEST of what they are. You are an example of people who call themselves Christians and jump at something that seems to be wrong and bash it as "against God" without truly figuring out the context for the reason for it. Also, the reaction you had to Tony's statement, "...God, in HER infinite wisdom..." is the exact reaction he was going for to prove his point. If you've gone to any of his events, you would know this is the only context in which Tony refers to God as her. But yeah, anyone can make something mean what they want it to mean. ANYTHING can be twisted to seem racist. ANYTHING can be twisted to seem heretical. ANYTHING can also be taken to be something that will improve your life. The problem with people like you is you jump to conclusions about something without truly examining the full extent of what the perspective that is being portrayed. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. what is the true meaning of lost? what is the best example of something lost? ... Obviously if you are going to explain in fullness what it means to be lost, you will have to explore the experience of what that means and then express it... While expressing such an illustration, does that make you lost?
