Finding Benefits or Seeing Faults?

     After listening to Tal Ben-Shahar lecture on Benefit Finders and Fault Finders, I am more aware of the impact this perspective has on our lives. I’ve noticed in myself, my clients, friends, family, and business associates an inclination to view others in terms of finding either faults or benefits. Do we see stumbling blocks or stepping stones? These are choices we all make every day.

     Do we look at the stars each night or take them for granted? Do we appreciate our family, our work, and our every day? Do we take people, our health, and life for granted or do we celebrate all of these incredible gifts? Are we embracing life or living by avoiding?

     Benefit Finders focus on the positive. When you focus on the positive, the good appreciates. When our focus strays to the negative, the good depreciates while the negative is accentuated. 

     When it comes to our relationships, our focus is vital. Where and how we direct our energy, our focus, shapes the quality of our connections to others. We possess the ability to create our experience…the quality of our life is our choice!

     Remember to see the good and acknowledge the difficult. Witness the potential in the seed… Be a Benefit Finder
