Clark Kegley with refusingtosettle.com back with another Saturday strategy short — give you a big idea to apply this weekend and make your life better! Talk about something today that isn’t a tactic or 5 things you need to do, it’s more internal focused and less output focused. Talk about something called your signature strengths. But first a little background on this: Martin Seligman is kind of the grandfather of positive psychology. He said we were good at making depressed people to normal levels, but we sucked at making normal people to higher levels. What makes people happy? Spent his whole life studying this. Distilled it down into one sentence: KNOW YOUR STRENGTHS AND USE THEM OFTEN Think about when you’re really good at something. Doesn’t it feel awesome? Say you’re really good at a sport - best member on team feels great. Member in a band that crushes, or at a job good team player - why does it feel so good? It’s because of how people VIEW you. You need to view yourself this way. As “GOOD” at what you do in life. Easiest way is to know what you’re good at. This is where signature strengths come into play.
