Summary: Every person wins by satisfying innate needs. It’s where happiness converges with community building experts.

Deci and Ryan discovered three innate needs which when satisfied lead to increased motivation and wellbeing. They are the innate needs of relatedness, autonomy, and competence.

Loquate, a community for universal peace on earth discovered Primary Values in 1977 now known to satisfy innate needs, For example doing that which is truly in the best interests of others, satisfies the innate need of relatedness. In “remarkable convergence” according to Richard M. Ryan of Deci and Ryan, all three innate needs similarly are satisfied by other primary values too.

Operating in an area of meaningful expansion for yourself, that is your interiorly preferred work, satisfies your innate need for autonomy; and attaining goals or other ends, not necessarily preconceived as goals, but which become goals once experienced, satisfies your innate need for competence.
