Hi,
Apart from needs, we also have "wants"!
Wants are things that we like to have. If we can't have it, it is OK. But if we do get it, we feel happy for a while.
Yes, just for a while since once you have what you want, it loses it power to attract you. We either forget about it or we keep on wanting more of it.
More can be attractive than less! This can be addictive. Many people wasted their efforts and time by keeping on wanting more of something!
It can be even worse if we mis-think our wants as our needs. We will spend unrealistic amount of effort to get it.
It is ridiculous to think that you need a 60 inches TV or a LV handbag. You want them but you do not need them!
Needs are always the number 1 form of motivation. Wants can be the second-best. If you want to increase the motivation, relate the goals with wants!

陶兆輝對身心語言程序學、催眠治療學、教練學、輔引學、自我改進、個人發展及商業發展的純個人看法;它們看似毫不相關,但當你從合整式思維角度來看,它們卻擁有相近的性質及過程;我將每隔數天不斷加入新的文章, 內容絕不敢認為是肯定正確, 旨在拋磚引玉而矣。
