We often chase after something we think will make us happy, but the truth of reality is that there are 5 fundamentals that we need. The first is we need safety and safety is not only physical safety but it is also emotional safety. The body has 2 basic nervous systems. The sympathetic and the parasympathetic, the sympathetic one is when we face danger, our entire physiology changes, our heart rate create goes up, blood is shifted from outer organs towards the heart for fight or flight. The bottom line is, it’s a living hell and so feeling not fear of danger or criticism is a fundamental need, which unfortunately, many people don’t have. The second is the necessity of community. A human being is a social creature and we need other people. The third is we need to have good self-esteem – you can be safe and have a community, but if you don’t esteem yourself this too can be a living nightmare, which of course, the only way of having good self-esteem is knowing the truth that you have been CHOSEN by the CREATOR not only to exist but to enhance all existence! and last but not least there is also having meaning, a purpose in life!
