High Five Your Inner Diamon

You may remember in my recent Newsletter I explained that if there’s a gap between who you’re capable of being in any given moment and who are?actually?being in that moment, you will experience a level of Discontent. Regret. Anxiety. Depression.

And in my last newsletter we introduced you to your Eudaimon – how is she, did you name her yet?????

Do let me know, I’d love to hear.

If you’re feeling a little out of salts – let’s face it we all do at various times, me, it’s when, as I am at the moment, stuck in a bit of a rut, and wishing things to be different.

And in this case our bad-daimon raises its head!!

aka:?Unhappiness, feeling unfulfilled or lack lustre is not a good feeling.??

Well, I hear you asking what IS the trick to closing the gap between who I’M capable of being and who I’M actually being. How can I enjoy the mental and emotional?well-being of eudaimonia?

The Greeks (you must have guessed by now, I love a bit of Ancient Wisdom) had a word for that, too. And, if I had to summarise my entire philosophy in business and life in one word, this word sums it up perfectly - Areté.???

The word Areté doesn’t?directly translate into English, however, in essence, it means “virtue” or “excellence,” but it also has a much deeper meaning - something closer to “expressing the highest version of yourself moment to moment to moment.”

I’m all about doing what I do with excellence. If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing to your best.?As part of my own research, I have spent the last 30 years trying to unearth the "secrets to success” or what enables us to flourish.??

One of these secrets is about putting into practice your best virtues. So I have worked on establishing my own, my top five being, Creativity, Gratitude, Zest, Spirituality and Curiosity.

When we are able to put our virtues into practice, through our work on a daily basis, there’s simply no room for the?regret?or anxiety or disillusionment.

So, when you’re at a choice point today, think?Areté. Are you putting your core character strengths (virtues) into practice? If you are not feeling fulfilled, or you are underwhelmed by your work or current vocation, perhaps it’s time to reflect and make some changes.

High five your inner daimon and experience the joy of flourishing.

Stay Focussed, Keep Positive and Choose to +1 in Every Moment.

Love ??, Hugs ??, High Fives??? and Fist Bumps???
