Truths Emerge
As I have incorporated Positive Psychology concepts and tools into my Life Coaching practice, I have learned a few important things.
One of those important things is awareness. Awareness is a key principle that allows a person to put a given challenge in their life in their crosshairs. This is really how we can improve ourselves.
It is by developing an awareness of our particular challenge in its relation to what we truly desire, that we can then learn to focus on the right things. When we focus on the right things, truths we were previously blind to begin to emerge!
The Impact of One Successful Person
I have often used Thomas Edison as an example of success. He is not known for his countless failures. He is known for his successes! And, why is he known for his successes? Because they were so great that they made a positive impact on millions around the world!
As Edison continually worked at his craft, he began to became aware of certain realities within the scope of his project. Occurrences, patterns, consequences and on and on. But only by attending to his craft were such revealed to him over time.
Positive Emotions: The Fuel of Champions!
So, people may wonder, “How could there be so much power in one individual to positively impact so many people?” It is the depth of their commitment to excellence in their chosen field of endeavor? Is it their unwavering tenacity in the pursuit of a goal!
But, what provides them with the motivation, energy and stamina to “stay in the pocket” until the myriad of nuances of their chosen craft or project becomes so abundantly clear to them that success not only becomes possible for them–but it becomes inevitable!
And what is the driving force behind many successful people who accomplish great things? While this can be quite subjective, I am sure Positive Emotions have much to do with it!
Convenient Realities
So, how do we get Positive Emotions? Well, Positive Psychology has a few answers that help people find reserves of energy they didn’t know they have. It also helps them to discover a treasure trove of gifts they never knew they had at their disposal. And it’s not wishful thinking or self-talk. …It’s the power of SCIENCE!
Successful individuals who tap into Positive Psychology are emboldened by facts that are uncovered on their behalf, truths that tip the scale in their favor, and realities that give them the traction and leverage they need to progress toward their goal! And they are energized along the way (as long as they take care of themselves, of course) with Positive Emotions when they are thus engaged in a pursuit that is authentic to them!
As they do so, they are fortified with a positive affect that motivates, inspires and recharges them so they then have the wherewithal to persevere to the finish line!
Just Imagine
Imagine what it’s like to have a desire to accomplish something and have the leverage and power to succeed! That’s what Positive Psychology can do for people who use it to learn how to harness the resources they already have within them and teach them to set goals that align with what they truly desire.
