In pursuit of success and happiness, many of us find ourselves in a never-ending hustle, driven by external markers of achievement such as wealth, status, and recognition.
But I think we all know true happiness and lasting success are not found in these external factors. Sure I’d like a 1970 Porsche 911S with which to cruise through the Swiss Alps (a Porsche 550 Spyder would just be impractical).
It would be nice … I would look successful … lots of people would be envious :0 … it’s not really going to make me happy. Especially if my motivation is fueled by negative emotions.
So let’s just put all those “signs of success” to the side for a moment and think about what can truly make us happy no matter our circumstances. And even if begrudgingly – because I still feel a fancy car, a fancy house, and a private jet to take trips around the world is what’s going to make me happy – still you can’t find happiness, or meaningful success, by focusing on its pursuit. You have to focus on something else; success is the by-product.
What’s that something else.
Well, something that’s helped me immensely is the transformative concept called Positive Intelligence, it can unlock your “sage powers” and conquer the “saboteurs” that are hindering your journey.
The Myth of Money and Success:
At the heart of this discussion is the belief that money alone doesn’t guarantee happiness. Success in business or any area of life, as traditionally defined, may not be the sole recipe for a fulfilling and joyful existence.
BUT I WANT MORE.
OK, so how can we find contentment in the present moment while still aspiring for more?
Happiness in the Now:
It’s not about settling or becoming complacent but rather acknowledging the current moment and finding joy in it. This sets the stage for the introduction of Positive Intelligence — a concept that goes beyond mere happiness.
Positive Intelligence Unveiled:
This concept revolves around unlocking what Shirzad Chamine refers to as sage powers — innate strengths that lead to true fulfillment. The focus is on learning to ignore and subdue the saboteurs, those self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors that hold us back from realizing our full potential.
The problem is we think the saboteurs are our friends, helping us to succeed. They can lead to small successes, but cannot help us find lasting success that gives us joy.
Why Positive Intelligence Matters:
Positive Intelligence addresses the critical link between being content in the present and achieving long-term success. Moreover, it sheds light on the dangers of being motivated by negative emotions and the impact they can have on our overall well-being.
A Deeper Dive:
I invite you to watch this video I made. In it, I break down the key principles and insights of Positive Intelligence. I introduce the “Judge” and the 9 types of Saboteurs we think are helping us cope, but which actually undermine us and steal our happiness even when do we achieve some external success. And I introduce the the 5 Sage Powers fueled by positive emotions that can unleash true happiness and meaningful success.
