The theory behind this principle is based on the thought that if you have unmet needs, you'll attract others in the same position. Another way of saying it is this: You have more needs than you know, and they are distracting you.
Why do we have unmet needs at all? Well, for one thing, most of us have been raised not to be needy. Being needy is not a positive thing; therefore, we haven't focused on our needs. This can be a huge negative, though. Because we all have needs - and it is OK to acknowledge these needs.
Needs are different from values. Simply defined, a need is what you must have in order to be your best. Needs are not optional for this very reason. No one can be attractive to others if they are not getting their basic needs met. Attraction just can't happen if unmet needs exist.
How do we get our personal needs met, then?
- Accept that we all have needs - and they are essential to our happiness and our own well-being.
- Identify the most important need we have. [Is it to be validated? Is it to be heard? Is it to have our work acknowledged?]
- Identify one additional need. [What else is important to you? What else must you have in order to be your best?]
- Acknowledge that these needs are important - imperative, actually - in order for you to attract everything you want in your life.
- Make sure our two most important needs are met every single day.
The benefits of getting our needs met are amazing. We will begin to be more open - and more attractive - to others as well as ourselves. And by being more attractive to others and ourselves, we will attract much more of everything we want in our lives and in our work.
Today's Powerful Question for you: What are your two most important needs and how will you get them met?
