"The good life is using your signature strengths every day to produce authentic happiness."
- Martin Seligman
What positive qualities are the most natural for you to use? Consider The Twelve Gifts:
Strength. Beauty. Courage. Compassion. Hope. Joy.
Talent. Imagination. Reverence. Wisdom. Love. Faith.
While we all have access to these resources, a few of the 12 are likely to be the most readily available to us.
Also, as the closing of The Twelve Gifts of Birth says, "Use your gifts well and you will discover others..."
Others include curiosity, enthusiasm, and persistence.
So identify your signiture strenghts and your talents. And, as positive psychologist Martin Seligman advises:
Use them "in the service of something much larger than you are.”
That will lead you to "the good life" he says.
Wishing you a very good life!
With love,
