What Drives Our Every Decision?

A wise therapist told me these 3 life forces drive almost every decision and choice we make in life. 1. Fear of abandoment (If I am really authentic and take off my cultural mask will people like me?) 2. Need for atonomy (I was given a unique purpo...se to live for will I find it and live it?) 3. Need to be connected (The drive for deep intimacy to truly have someone deeply understand me and me another)

AS on August 7 at 3:55pm I've waded my way through the first two but haven't mastered them . It's number 3 that is driving me lately.
