We Are Driven By Needs

  • The distinction between needs and wants or desires isn’t very clear
  • Think of needs as being fundamental, intrinsic, powerful drivers coming from within yourself
  • You may want a piece of cake when you really need nourishment, comfort or companionship
  • You may want a very expensive car when what you really need is respect and a sense of belonging
  • Unmet needs can leave you feeling empty, incomplete, less than whole, frustrated, unfulfilled, fearful, disappointed, hurt or angry
