The Six Basic Human Needs: Love And Connection - Paul D. Lowe & Hina Solanki

In the fifth part of their ongoing collaborative mini-series, Hina Solanki and Paul Lowe explore the six basic human needs, focussing on each in turn, in an attempt to better understand what motivates us as human beings. This week, Hina and Paul explore the need for love and connection, a sense of acceptance, belonging and support. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many mistake connection for love, but the feelings are strikingly different. Connection is the initial feeling of oneness we feel when our values and ideals connect with another's. Every moment of connection is a choice. We can choose to make each point of impact a positive one. Each connection has the power to make the world better if we try. When we feel more connected to the world around us, we feel a greater sense of love. This in turn leads to happiness and contentment. Connection is the starting point for happiness. Life is a voyage of self-discovery. It is about finding out who we really are. Each connection causes this journey to variate in countless, beautiful ways. Each connection is invaluable to creating our own story. BEST MOMENTS 'Love conquers all' 'That, for me, is the diversity of connection' 'We create our own bespoke version of what that love is' 'That beautiful flower grew out of very dark soil' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life       ABOUT THE GUEST Born into an Indian family, Hina came to the UK with her family at just 6 months old. Her parents were practising Hindus, and she grew up in a serene, philosophical household, laying the foundations for her spiritual, holistic philosophy and approach to life. Hina’s father was a businessman, ably and enthusiastically supported by her mother, and she has inherited her parents’ business acumen every bit as much as their spiritual focus.

Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising. “Remember – Mastering The Game Of Life Starts, By Embracing Our Hearts!” CONTACT METHODS Tel: +44 (0) 115 7270101 E-mail: [email protected] Twitter: https://twitter.com/IAMPaulLowe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IamPaulLowe/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-d-lowe-7a78332a/
