The Six Human Needs pt 1 - Certainty & Uncertainty

🎙️ Show Notes for Part 1: Six Basic Human Needs – Certainty and Uncertainty

In this episode, I'm kicking off a powerful 3-part series inspired by Tony Robbins' framework: the Six Basic Human Needs. Focusing first on Certainty and Uncertainty, I'm going to walk you through how these forces shape our daily decisions, beliefs, and emotional reactions — often without us even realizing it.

Whether you’re a leader, parent, coach, or just someone hungry for personal growth, this episode will challenge how you see your own behavior and relationships. 

🔑 In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why chasing too much certainty might be silently sabotaging your progress.
• The sneaky ways uncertainty already controls your life — even if you think you hate surprises.
• What “micro-moments” reveal about your dominant needs (and how to spot them).
• The critical question to ask yourself when you're stuck in a rut… and the liberating mindset shift that follows.

👂 Get ready to hear how simple insights can create massive shifts — and why I'm not giving it all to you at once.

00:00:03.970 --> 00:00:13.910
James Dunn: Hello, Hello! Welcome to the show! All right. I am excited to share with you an amazing concept, something that had a pretty profound effect on my life.

2
00:00:13.910 --> 00:00:34.690
James Dunn: something I learned back in 2014, and that I want to share with you today and over the next couple of episodes. It's not a massive concept, but something that I do want to take a little bit more time to kind of dive into little components of. And I don't want to make this too long of an episode. So I'm going to break this up over the next few, so I can also give you a little bit of time to absorb each

3
00:00:34.750 --> 00:00:44.109
James Dunn: little section I'm going to break this up into. And what I'm going to share with you over the next couple of episodes is the 6 basic human needs from Tony Robbins.

4
00:00:44.170 --> 00:01:12.810
James Dunn: So what we're looking for here in the 6 basic human needs. And we're not talking about these from the animalistic perspective. So if I, what I mean by that are as animals, as animals on this planet, whether it be human or any other thing, we have to have food, shelter, and water. That's just something that any animal has to have to survive. So we're not talking about those needs. What we're talking is, once we get beyond those and start evolving as humans and trying to live a happy, productive life.

5
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:18.109
James Dunn: Wonderful life. You know those kinds of things. We have very specific needs that we need to meet.

6
00:01:18.510 --> 00:01:45.520
James Dunn: And there are a couple of variations of what I'm about to share with you in terms of other concepts that people have come up with, and probably the most famous one that you may have heard of. You've heard of any of them. It's probably Maslow's law of hierarchy or Maslow's hierarchy of needs. But I'm just going to be honest with you. I don't personally connect with that version of things. Very well, because I just don't like the names, the concepts. They're really a little bit harder for me to

7
00:01:45.730 --> 00:01:58.839
James Dunn: to wrap my head around, and I will share them with you. Just so you can have some perspective. But he goes by physiological safety, social self-esteem and self-actualization. I mean, I mean, seriously, the fuck is self actualization. You know.

8
00:01:59.660 --> 00:02:05.219
James Dunn: I I prefer what I'm about to share with you, but at least want to give you a little bit of context. So

9
00:02:05.740 --> 00:02:19.120
James Dunn: there are other versions of this out there, so is as I'm sharing what I'm about to, you know. Share with you here shortly. If that doesn't resonate with you then go search up Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Maybe that resonates with you more.

10
00:02:19.320 --> 00:02:42.689
James Dunn: I just want to start opening your mind to this idea that as humans, we have very basic needs that we need to meet on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis, to feel truly fulfilled, to feel truly happy, to feel like we are evolving as the human beings that we are meant to be, and that we were created to be, and that we want to become over the course of our lifetime. So

11
00:02:43.040 --> 00:03:08.359
James Dunn: I will share with you my favorite 6 human needs again, which are the ones I learned from Tony Robbins, and the very 1st one that he has is certainty. See? That's so much easier to understand what is certainty. Certainty is the need to feel safe, comfortable, secure, stable, protected need to have predictability in our lives. That's a nice little definition that I just read for you. But it's really just this idea of. I'm certain about things in my life.

12
00:03:08.750 --> 00:03:16.870
James Dunn: One of the examples that I think he uses, you know, when he preaches or talks about. I don't use the word preaches, but when he talks about these 6 basic human needs is

13
00:03:16.880 --> 00:03:43.829
James Dunn: the idea we we need this certainty in our lives that when we wake up and we go to step out of bed, that there's a floor below us that the floor is not going to cave in on us. We have a roof over our head that is going to protect us from the elements. You know we know that we can go to bed and feel pretty safe and secure in our homes because we have locked doors. We have windows, we are protected from the elements. We're protected from animals. We're protected from anything out there trying to get us

14
00:03:43.830 --> 00:03:52.710
James Dunn: now. Obviously there are things that could break in, and, you know, take that over. But for the most part we are feeling pretty certain when we go to bed, that we're going to be in a pretty good spot.

15
00:03:52.810 --> 00:04:13.170
James Dunn: and we can also find certainty through our lives in various ways, and we can find it in positive ways and negative ways. And so I'm going to share with you 1st some positive ways that you might find certainty. Maybe you have a routine. So myself. I know I have a routine

16
00:04:13.641 --> 00:04:34.519
James Dunn: like on weekends. I mean, we talk about my workouts all the time, too. So let's just on weekends. It's usually, you know, Saturday and Sunday running. During the week. I have my rowing workouts. I have my Kettlebell workouts. I have my yoga workouts. Those are very specific routines that I find certainty in. So look in your life. Do you have routines that

17
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:58.530
James Dunn: you feel? Okay, this is going to happen on a very specific day, a very specific time. Another thing that I've shared with you guys before is my daughter and I. We like to go every other Saturday we go do steak and shake. We set that up when she was doing the split home between parents. But even though now she lives with me full time, and has for the last couple of years. That's still a set, very specific routine that we have. We go out, and we really enjoy that time together. That's something that's very certain.

18
00:04:59.448 --> 00:05:05.070
James Dunn: For me, you know, listening to very specific podcasts, I know exactly

19
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:31.680
James Dunn: what I'm going to be hearing. Now. I don't know exactly, you know which Guest is going to be on there, and I don't know exactly what the topic is they're going to talk about. But knowing the podcast that I listen to, I'm going to have a really, really solid feeling for about what it's going to be. They're going to be business related. They're going to be personal development related. They're going to be growth oriented conversations. They're not going to be people on there talking about Ufo. Well, unless I'm listening to Joe Rogan.

20
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:51.940
James Dunn: But for the most part they're not going to be talking about conspiracy theories. They're not going to be talking about government things, you know, most of them, the vast majority of things I listen to aren't really going to lean towards that. So I'm feeling pretty certain about what those are going to be. When you hang out with very specific people, you're going to have

21
00:05:52.110 --> 00:05:53.320
James Dunn: certainty

22
00:05:53.580 --> 00:06:14.560
James Dunn: again, what the conversations are going to typically revolve around. You know, certain people have certain political persuasions, they have certain interests, and so when you hang out with them, you're going to feel very certain about what life is going to be, and that feels really safe to us that feels really good to us. That is something that as human beings, we need to feel that certainty.

23
00:06:14.690 --> 00:06:21.589
James Dunn: Now, those those are ones that, as I, as I shared, can bring us certainty in a positive

24
00:06:21.890 --> 00:06:25.389
James Dunn: aspect. But they're also negative

25
00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:32.199
James Dunn: variations and negative ways that we can find certainty in our life, and that we really want to try and avoid. So

26
00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:36.580
James Dunn: an addiction would be certainty. So if somebody is an alcoholic.

27
00:06:37.020 --> 00:06:56.600
James Dunn: my dad! He found certainty in his alcohol. He found certainty in his beer. Every single day he would go to work. When he would come home he would grab himself a beer. Matter of fact, he drank beer during work, but when you come home he would have a few beers. So if you have a alcohol addiction, if you have a drug addiction, you know what that's going to feel like. So

28
00:06:56.730 --> 00:06:59.770
James Dunn: maybe your day is stressful. Maybe your day is

29
00:07:00.210 --> 00:07:07.130
James Dunn: pushing you to the limits. I know people right now in my life that go to.

30
00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:22.629
James Dunn: They won't call it an addiction, and I won't even necessarily call it an addiction, but I'll call it something they lean on, in my opinion, a little bit too heavily. They lean on marijuana to bring them down from that craziness of their day, or at least what they interpret as craziness.

31
00:07:23.320 --> 00:07:25.410
James Dunn: And so, in a way

32
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:38.539
James Dunn: that is a little bit of addiction. But even if you don't want to connect it or call it an addiction, it's something that they feel very certain how they're going to feel when they smoke that pot, or when they eat those marijuana gummies, or whatever that happens to be.

33
00:07:38.650 --> 00:07:46.100
James Dunn: you can find certainty in silence, not having conversations, being afraid to talk to somebody.

34
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.019
James Dunn: If you have somebody in your life that there is

35
00:07:51.260 --> 00:07:56.189
James Dunn: maybe a challenge going on between the 2 of you. Maybe there's something that

36
00:07:56.410 --> 00:08:01.559
James Dunn: you don't feel very good about that, you know. It's not going the way that you want it to go.

37
00:08:01.760 --> 00:08:07.999
James Dunn: but you're afraid to talk to them. You're afraid to have that conversation with them, because

38
00:08:08.220 --> 00:08:17.470
James Dunn: you don't know how they're going to react. So you want that certainty of, I'm just going to leave it be. I'm just going to leave it as it is. And even though I don't love how things are going right now, I'm still going to let it just play out

39
00:08:18.081 --> 00:08:23.779
James Dunn: for, and I don't want to use this phrase for you, but it might be that you're comfortable in your misery.

40
00:08:23.950 --> 00:08:28.780
James Dunn: I don't know what it's going to be like if I approach this person, if I have this conversation with this person.

41
00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:48.869
James Dunn: and I'm miserable in a certain way. But I'm comfortable in that misery, because at least I understand what it is. I'm certain how I'm going to feel every day I'm going to come home. I'm going to feel Angst. I'm going to feel a little frustrated, but that's better than not knowing what's going to happen. So this is a way that we can feel certainty in our life, and it's not in a positive way, it's not in a really good way.

42
00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:49.970
James Dunn: So

43
00:08:50.090 --> 00:08:57.340
James Dunn: with these examples, you know, what we want to do is we want to take some time to really stop and ask ourselves what?

44
00:08:57.890 --> 00:09:00.439
James Dunn: What are some of the ways that I'm finding

45
00:09:00.550 --> 00:09:13.219
James Dunn: certainty in positive ways and in negative ways, because some others that I can think of for certainty. And this is, I was having a conversation with somebody about this just literally last night is

46
00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:20.359
James Dunn: social media. You know, social media has overtaken so many people's lives. It's it's gotten to all of us on some level.

47
00:09:21.090 --> 00:09:30.629
James Dunn: and we find certainty by going on to Facebook, we find certainty by going on to Instagram. Now, again, we may not necessarily know whose posts we're going to see. We may not know who's

48
00:09:30.650 --> 00:09:52.549
James Dunn: videos. We're going to see or reels, or who's gonna be doing a live when we get on there. But we know that we're going to see a specific group of people and know what they're going to talk about. And you can fall into that doom scrolling on social media. If you're not really careful, and that's a place where you can find certainty, and it not be a good thing. So what we really want to do, though, is, look at your life.

49
00:09:52.870 --> 00:10:13.110
James Dunn: Where are you finding certainty? Because this is a specific? You need to have certain you need to feel safe when I'm driving down the road in my car. I need to know that when I turn the wheel to left, the wheels are going to turn left. If I turn the wheel to the left and they go right. I'm going to crash. I'm going to run into somebody. I'm going to kill myself. I'm going to kill them. It's not going to be good. So we need to have certainty in our life.

50
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:20.379
James Dunn: But we also again need to be very careful about how we're finding certainty. So look at your life. Ask yourself, where am I finding certainty?

51
00:10:20.590 --> 00:10:39.519
James Dunn: And don't judge it. Just say you know where some positive areas I'm finding certainty in my life. And where are some places? I'm finding negative certainty in my certainty from a negative perspective in my life. And again, do not judge any of this right now. Right now, I just really want you to focus on awareness over the course of time. We're going to really work out.

52
00:10:39.530 --> 00:10:51.880
James Dunn: How can I find better ways to find certainty in my life from a good perspective, whether that be the workout routine, whether that be hanging out with the different set of people having different conversations with people.

53
00:10:52.650 --> 00:11:17.569
James Dunn: You know, these are the things that we're going to be focusing on. But 1st and foremost, we just want to build the awareness, give ourselves Grace, give ourselves forgiveness, give ourselves understanding. Because if you didn't know that you were filling these needs in negative ways. You don't want to go beat yourself up over it. And even if you did know on some level, that's okay, too. You are a human. These are things that you're going to experience. And you're going to have challenges sometimes overcoming.

54
00:11:17.670 --> 00:11:23.249
James Dunn: That's the human evolution that's the human process. That's the growth pattern that we're working through as we evolve.

55
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.700
James Dunn: So just really focus on your awareness today.

56
00:11:27.540 --> 00:11:30.130
James Dunn: So those are the 1st

57
00:11:30.520 --> 00:11:49.479
James Dunn: things I want to talk about is certainty. So that's the 1st basic human need. Now, the second basic human need, this one's going to be a really easy one to remember, because it's uncertainty or another way to say that might be variety. And just to read you the quick definition, the need to feel different, challenged risk, change, excitement, surprise, entertained in our lives.

58
00:11:50.400 --> 00:12:09.430
James Dunn: We love variety, because if we want to back this up for a second, I say, you know, certainty is great. It's wonderful. It's amazing. We love certainty. We'd love to know what's going to happen. But if you really stop and think about it, if you knew what was going to happen, every single minute of every single day you'll be bored out of your fucking minds. It would not

59
00:12:09.540 --> 00:12:19.739
James Dunn: be a very exciting life. That's where we need a little bit of uncertainty. We need a little bit of variety. We need some change in our lives, because if it's the same thing over and over and over and over again.

60
00:12:19.810 --> 00:12:44.710
James Dunn: I, personally just wouldn't be able to do it. There are things I enjoy knowing that are going to be there when I need them to be there, but I also want some variety, and we even talked about that, and I'll dive a little bit more into this as I go over some of the examples. But if you think about, you know, when you go, listen to the podcast you know, I shared before that, I go on and I'm going to listen to specific podcast but they're going to have different guests on there. So it's not the same person necessarily.

61
00:12:45.540 --> 00:13:07.220
James Dunn: If there's a podcast that typically has guests, and most at least have some guest episodes. So there's going to be a variety. They're going to talk about a little bit different subjects, even though it's in the realm of the personal development, space or growth, space or something educational in my business. In my life, things like that. It's going to vary enough

62
00:13:07.300 --> 00:13:27.409
James Dunn: that I'm still going to want to go on there on a weekly basis, or every couple of days depending on how often they're putting podcasts out. So that is a wonderful way for me to find uncertainty same for you. If you're going on, listen to podcasts. If you're watching different Youtube channels, you can find variety in those channels.

63
00:13:27.630 --> 00:13:32.239
James Dunn: But while it stays in that space of certainty of knowing, it's going to be within a certain group.

64
00:13:32.650 --> 00:13:41.369
James Dunn: you can do the same thing, you know, watching movies. It might be something that you're watching, you know. You like your favorite actor, but they go do different things

65
00:13:42.140 --> 00:14:03.420
James Dunn: if you're oh, wait! No, I'm getting sidetracked. Well, yeah, watching different movies by your favorite actor. They're going to have a variety of movies that go in. So you're going to get some variety there. If you are in business and you're doing an Instagram live. Let's say you're going to hop on there. You don't know who's going to be showing up. You don't know if anybody's going to show up at all. You don't know if anybody's going to be commenting on there things like that.

66
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.949
James Dunn: And if you go out networking with people.

67
00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:19.170
James Dunn: you go to networking events again. You might run into the same group of people. But there's always going to be new people coming, new people going. You're going to find that the conversations are hopefully going to be a little bit different. They're not going to be the exact same conversations every single time.

68
00:14:19.270 --> 00:14:23.879
James Dunn: You're going to find some variety in your life through those type of things.

69
00:14:24.650 --> 00:14:28.629
James Dunn: Now, where you might find some negative uncertainty.

70
00:14:28.780 --> 00:14:58.169
James Dunn: And and this is where self sabotage, I believe, comes into play. Because I was really thinking about this very recently myself is where I find myself. Sabotaging me is when I do get into too much of a routine, when I get too set in this grind almost because I'm not a big fan of the whole idea of hustling grind, working hard. Yes, doing what you got to do. Yes, but this idea of being robotic and doing the same shit over and over and over every single fucking day.

71
00:14:58.610 --> 00:15:03.320
James Dunn: What I will end up finding myself doing is sabotaging myself by

72
00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:22.769
James Dunn: pushing off deadlines, maybe by not doing things when I need to have them done. So maybe it's recording a podcast maybe it's setting up a meeting with somebody. Maybe it's even paying bills. I've got the money in the bank, but for whatever reason, maybe I won't pay a bill up until the last minute, or I'll let it go right past the due date. So then I get a

73
00:15:22.770 --> 00:15:39.699
James Dunn: a late charge, and then I got to call the company, and I'm like, Hey, I wasn't paying attention, and I let this this bill get passed. Can you please wipe off that because I want that variety, and as fucked up as that sounds. I'm fulfilling one of my basic needs. But this is not a positive way to get that variety

74
00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:47.630
James Dunn: another way that I myself will do this, or you know, and I wouldn't classify this as variety. But the uncertainty.

75
00:15:47.850 --> 00:15:51.980
James Dunn: I don't know if you're like me, but I'm very big on if I have an appointment.

76
00:15:52.410 --> 00:15:58.340
James Dunn: I'm supposed to meet somebody at a very specific time, or say, Hey, let's meet up at 6 o'clock. I try and get there at

77
00:15:58.430 --> 00:16:23.440
James Dunn: right exactly 6. I feel like I want to be pulling up. I don't know what it is in my brain that I feel like it's cool. If I pull up at exactly that moment, because I don't want to spend 10 min there waiting for that person, because then it looks like I'm needy, or I'm too. Gung ho! Or too, whatever, it's not quite as cool. If if I'm sitting there for a long time before that person gets there. If I get there at exactly that time. It's like, Wow, you are so punctual you're right on time.

78
00:16:23.590 --> 00:16:26.100
James Dunn: But then you go through that stress of

79
00:16:26.210 --> 00:16:34.949
James Dunn: what if I'm driving through traffic. And what if there's a you know little bit of road construction, or I hit a couple of red lights, or you

80
00:16:35.070 --> 00:16:51.370
James Dunn: you know you you get lost. You take a wrong turn. Then what's going to happen? Then? You're going to be stressing out. So that is bringing uncertainty in your life, but not in a very happy, positive way. So these are a couple of examples, and let me see, what else? What else can I do?

81
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:55.800
James Dunn: Doing projects? Wait until the last minute. We've all been there.

82
00:16:55.990 --> 00:17:07.129
James Dunn: Hopefully, you you'd let this all go back in grade school, probably high school or even college. But when your teachers or your professors assign specific assignments.

83
00:17:07.410 --> 00:17:08.520
James Dunn: Hopefully.

84
00:17:09.380 --> 00:17:22.739
James Dunn: you did them long before they were due. You didn't wait till the very last day that they were due, but if you're anything like me, you did. You waited. If they gave you 3 weeks you waited until, like the night before, it was due to really hone in and get that thing done.

85
00:17:22.900 --> 00:17:28.619
James Dunn: But that might be someplace where you're creating uncertainty in your life.

86
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:38.880
James Dunn: So that's not good. If you're not giving clear directions to one of your underlings or your employees, or whatever you want to call them, people that's working for you.

87
00:17:39.450 --> 00:17:51.260
James Dunn: That's going to create uncertainty in your life. It's they're going to feel a little bit of chaos. They're going to create things that are not up to your standards because you're not giving them the proper direction, and that's going to create uncertainty in your life.

88
00:17:51.600 --> 00:17:54.480
James Dunn: These are not good opportunities.

89
00:17:55.782 --> 00:18:21.799
James Dunn: you know, to meet the needs that you have in your life. And even if you look at alcohol, use or drug use I shared with you before. And this is what's so crazy. And what's so weird is some so many of these things, you can get certainty and uncertainty and even other human needs out of the exact same thing. And there's going to be a a bow that I put on this that brings this together, because the more of these human needs that you hit

90
00:18:22.650 --> 00:18:31.120
James Dunn: with certain things, the more you're going to be using those things. So a specific example is, I talked about drugs or alcohol something like that.

91
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:56.220
James Dunn: My dad drank beer, and he found certainty in that. I've definitely done it. Many years ago I would go out party and hanging out and having a great, great old time, a lot of great times that I can't remember through my life, but then, also, looking at it from the perspective of drinking alcohol, and having the all those really quote unquote fun nights and partying until I puked and doing all that stuff that created a lot of uncertainty in my life.

92
00:18:56.220 --> 00:19:21.800
James Dunn: It put me in situations where I have no fucking clue. How I got to where I got to, how I got home, what time I went to bed, who did? What? Waking up, wondering what happened, knowing something maybe didn't go quite right, that there was. Gonna be some conversations with people later that day, whatever. But you might find yourself in that same situation where you're. It's alcohol. It's some form of drugs. And we're not talking about, you know, a deep, deep

93
00:19:22.639 --> 00:19:26.979
James Dunn: drug addiction or anything like that. But just where you're using it just enough

94
00:19:27.130 --> 00:19:34.180
James Dunn: to create that little fun version of you where you have that uncertainty, you might say the thing that's a little offensive that you wouldn't say otherwise.

95
00:19:34.340 --> 00:19:44.950
James Dunn: So we have to be very, very careful and watch where we're finding certain uncertainty and variety in our lives, and the same with certainty.

96
00:19:45.330 --> 00:19:46.920
James Dunn: because these are all

97
00:19:47.420 --> 00:20:15.460
James Dunn: things that we need to have in our life. But we we need to be very conscious of where we're getting the certainty and the uncertainty. And I'm going to put a pause in in this right now, because, as I said, I want to keep this fairly short, and and give you a little bit of time to dig in your life. And so that's my my homework for you. I'm going to say, I want to start, maybe putting some assignments in here, or at least some calls to action for you to really dig in and start looking at your life

98
00:20:15.610 --> 00:20:29.920
James Dunn: on a little deeper level and taking some action because the things I share on here are great. But if all we're doing is getting on here, and I'm sharing stuff with you, and you're listening to it, and you're not doing anything with it in your life. It's not truly going to help you. It's the implementation.

99
00:20:30.080 --> 00:20:59.990
James Dunn: It's the embodiment of these things that I'm sharing with you. That's truly going to change your life. And that's what I really want from this podcast I've gotten a little off track from time to time on what the focus is of this podcast and looking at it, a little bit more, too much like it was a necessary evil, almost for lack of a better way to say it. I love doing the podcast I really enjoy it. That's why I continue to do it. But I've definitely got a little bit distracted from time to time, and I'm going to get back on focusing on making sure that I'm providing you with value that's going to truly change your life.

100
00:20:59.990 --> 00:21:16.150
James Dunn: and this will absolutely do it. So what I want to ask you to do is over this next week, as you're waiting for the next episode, for the next 2 basic human needs is, take some time. Sit down, write out, where are you finding certainty in your life.

101
00:21:16.800 --> 00:21:45.670
James Dunn: both from a positive perspective and a negative perspective? And then also, where are you finding uncertainty, slash variety in your life from a positive perspective and a negative perspective. Because, again, these are all really important things to have. At least, you know, we want to have the certainty we want to have the uncertainty. These are both things that we have to have, to feel truly alive, to feel truly whole as a human being and growing and evolving. But we want to really find out where we're connecting with those on both levels.

102
00:21:46.030 --> 00:22:13.310
James Dunn: Don't judge yourself. Don't beat yourself up. Don't even necessarily try and correct it immediately. If you want to make some small steps. Okay, but let's focus more on getting the awareness 1st and just observing, observing, Why did I almost mess that up, observing what you're doing? First? st Because if we get too quick into the changing, it's not going to allow us to truly embody it, not allow us to truly put it deep into our soul and keep it as a consistent thing.

103
00:22:13.310 --> 00:22:39.440
James Dunn: So let's just really observe, for right now. Okay, so that's going to be the episode for today. My friend, I hope you got some massive value out of it. I'm really excited to share this, because I said, this has had a massive impact on my life. I'm not great with it all the time. I'm not perfect with all these things all the time, but having the awareness, having the understanding and knowing why, I'm making certain decisions in my life and understanding that it's these needs for

104
00:22:39.770 --> 00:23:04.670
James Dunn: certainty, uncertainty, variety, and the other needs that I'm going to share with you here very shortly, understanding. If these are why I'm doing certain things that I do want to do, and also some things that I don't necessarily want to do. Help me adjust what I need to adjust in my life, and I know they're going to help you to adjust what you need to adjust in your life, to get you to where you want to be. So with that, my friend. Get out there. Have an amazing fucking day, and we'll see you next time.
