1. Certainty.  Everyone wants certainty in their life.  Certainty can help us avoid pain and increase our comfort level. There are lots of ways people get certainty in there lives some are good, some are not  so good.  You can get certainty for yourself by being the one in control, develop a new skill, or get organized .  Other not so good choices may include doing drugs or even smoking.  We all have our ways of creating a feeling of certainty.

2. Uncertainty.  God, in her infinite wisdom, knew we would be bored out of our minds if we had total certainty so we also need surprises and variety.  We like surprises and the ones we don't like we call problems. Spice is the variety of life!

3. Significance.  We all need to have importance.  We all want to feel special and be significant on some level.  Some of us work our entire lives to be respected by our peers and rise to the top in a profession.  While others get instant significance through violence. Both scenarios create a feeling of importance.  Obviously the violent actions are very easy to create and short lived. 
4. Connection or Love with others.  As a person its essential to have a connection to others.  Most people settle for connection because unconditional love is to scary.  Connecting with others is vital for our survival as a healthy individual and as a community as a whole.  We can connect with each other and mother nature through intimacy, friendship, prayer or even a walk on the beach.   
5. Growth. People, relationships, business all must have growth.  We must grow to have something of value to give.

6. Contribute beyond ourselves.   One of the highest conditions of man is to serve others.
