All of us as human beings have different desires, but we are all driven by the same set of needs. Understanding the 6 Human Needs can allow you to turn on your driving force, discover all you’re capable of and become truly fulfilled on a consistent basis.
The Four Classes of Experience
1. We usually think of a Class 1 experience as a “peak life experience.” A Class 1 experience:
• feels good
• 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.
