A common thought process is that we should spend time really working on our weaknesses, on the areas of our lives where we need the most work. So the question exists: do I focus energy on hammering out all the kinks and quirks in that 15% of my personality? OR do I focus energy on ENLARGING the 85% of my personality that truly loves to serve, share, help, teach, coach? Doesn't it stand to reason that if I can enlarge the 85% - already the larger part of 'me', of who I am and who I aspire to be- it may even take over that 15%?
Focusing energy on expanding the 'good' makes more sense to me. It helps keep me on track with what I know I am capable of doing and reminds me to serve, share, help, teach, coach...just because I can. Focusing energy on the good helps me accept hurts and negative emotions that come my way, helps me extend the benefit of the doubt, as I would hope it's extended to me. One of my favorite words is "karma"...even my daughters know it and use it. Karma is my reminder word for the golden rule. Karma is my reminder word to focus on the 85%, on doing the stuff I am passionate about and truly love. Taken from Julie Voris.
