Discover Your Signature Strengths

In this excel­lent Philoso­pher­sNotes TV Episode Brian John­son explores the ori­gins of Pos­i­tive Psych and how to get your sig­na­ture strengths on!

Here are my top 5 sig­na­ture strengths:
1. Courage to pur­sue my dreams
2. Pas­sion for learn­ing
3. Integrity
4. Authen­tic­ity
5. Creativity

What are your top 5 strengths?

Guess which one is glar­ingly miss­ing on my list? Gratitude

I have to admit that this is not one of my sig­na­ture strengths. The sig­na­ture strengths come nat­u­rally to me. They are effort­less… almost part of my core DNA. Grat­i­tude is not on that list because it was only two years ago that I dis­cov­ered the impor­tance of grat­i­tude and cel­e­brat­ing every small suc­cess along the way. And wow… express­ing daily grat­i­tude has already made a huge impact on my life and since it did not come nat­u­rally to me, I invented www.GratitudeLog.com. :-)

    Hi– well– It seems as thou I have found what i am look­ing for — seren­ity peace calm etc etc etc= I don’t know but I do feel as thou I am mak­ing progress in the right direc­tion — going slow all the time — focus­ing on the moment I am in — being slow and delib­er­ate in all things — I am get­ting more time and space when I do that — i also do not xpect as much as when I was younger — O sim­ply do not xpect as much in terms of wants and needs and desires — I cut that all out — i hpe­hope­hope — that I have — help?? thanks a lot every­body — best John R
