(first four everyone meets/gets.. needs of the personality)
1. What's your target
2. Needs (there are six)

- Uncertainty: We need variety, surprises, fil you've already seen (certain)
- Significance: make more money, spiritual, wahtever it takes, violence (instant significance, certian you'll respond, willing to risk your life for it)
- Connection/Love - want it, need it (afraid to get hurt, we need it, intimacy, friendship, prayer - if nothing else works get a dog)

(needs of the spirit, the last two to find fullfillment)
- Contribute Beyond Ourselvs - lives not about me, it's about we

Map (seven different beliefs)
