2) Communication - humans need contact with other humans...developing communication skills can only have positive effects both for yourself and those around you.
3) Developing Purpose - Personally I cannot say I have found my ultimate purpose but I do try to vision myself being able to fully direct all my energy into something filled with passion and that visualisation alone is very powerful in a positive way, I am on the path to this and in other areas of my life I certainly have purpose at it is extremely powerful to realise this.
4) Motivation + Persistance - when you can stick at something and look back on each day and see that you made progress towards any goal you have set yourself whether small or large it is an amazing feeling and has the side effect of getting everything done!
5) Ability to give and receive value - Now this is something I believe so many people don't realise the importance of, I can say I didn't really grasp this until recently...more specifically since joining this site, so often my thoughts were "how can I get more money" or "how can I feel better" when I looked around and saw wealthy individuals for example I would ask "I wonder how they got so much money etc.." really I should have been asking " I wonder what they are doing that creates enough value for the wealth they are receiving", this is an amazing shift in mindset for me personally! |
Very insightful, I was thinking within the same lines, I've gotta agree to these!
