Episode 15 - HOW TO LIVE A LIFE OF SIGNIFICANCE

6 human needs. Significance.Certainty. Uncertainty Love or connection. Growth and Contribution. So they say that we kind of fluctuate between all 6 but we choose to focus on 1 or 2 and make those our driving force in life. So they say certainty is like the biggest one. Most people operated from Certainty because that's like our basic survival. I need to know that I'm okay, that I'll be taken care of, that I'm secure. And they say the second most popular one is Significance. I need to feel seen. I need to feel heard. I need to know that my life matters, that I matter, that I mean something to someone. Significance. When I figured this out, I realized that significance was driving my entire life. The relationships I was in were all about feeling significance. My intellect was all about feeling more significant. My jobs, my accomplishments, more and more significance. And the biggest excuse I had was, when I have a enough significance, when I have a big enough platform,when I have enough money, when I have enough notoriety, then I will be of contribution, then I will be of service, then I will give back. But then I learned the coolest and most simplest, craziest trick in the world. If your start with contribution, significance is an automatic by-product. It comes just naturally, you don't even have to try. And the coolest thing is when you are contributing, you actually aren't even seeking significance. So when it comes it feels almost surprising. It's like " Oh wow okay cool. I didn't even want that but great." Contribution creates significance because when you are contributing you are giving of yourself. You are giving forth of your gifts. You are stepping into why you are here on this planet and saying "I have an abundance. I have an overflow in my life. Here take some, have some. And that is significance. That creates meaning. That feeling of do I mean something, does my life mean something comes when you contribute. So let's not wait until we have enough X, Y, and Z. Let's start now. Let's give now, let's be of contribution now. Start in your neighborhood, with your family with your loved ones, in the community in the world, however you can serve, contribute, and give back. Wake up and say "What do I have for the world" instead of "what does the world have for me." So if you are seeking significance in life, know that it starts with contribution. Contribution is key so get out there and share who you are with the world. I love you guys. I'm Alexi Panos. If you enjoy this message make sure you share it and of course
