Saying "Yes" to Success: How to Embrace Natural Skills and Win
Success and satisfaction in life or work is most often due to conscious development and use of our natural strengths. The more you consciously use your natural skills, the more they become true talents - Your Talent Advantage - and the more enjoy
Online, June 3, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Most people spend most of their lives attempting to create life success yet many feel they have come up short. What is it that makes success, happiness and life fulfillment so elusive? Behavioral science consultant and co-creator of the Perceptual Style Theory (PST) Lynda-Ross Vega, believes the key to finding success lies in consciously using natural skills every day. Rather than toil away in a job that doesn't fully use our natural skills, she suggests learning to appreciate your natural talents and embracing the joy that comes from doing them. Lynda-Ross is the co-author of a new 7-part series of articles on Perceptual Style Theory and its 7 basic principles. Part 7, Searching For Success? Discover Your Talent Advantage First is available online at www.yourtalentadvantage.com.
"Success and satisfaction in life or work is most often due to conscious development and use of natural strengths," says Lynda-Ross. "And yes, you could say this is the key to success."
"It never ceases to amaze me how often people are their own harshest critics and assume some level of failure because they haven't found the level of success or happiness they expect in life," she says. "The root of this unhappiness is usually a total disregard for what they do well naturally and repeated attempts to succeed with skills they have acquired rather than those with which they were innately gifted."
According to Lynda-Ross, a change of perspective is the ultimate cure. She suggests changing the nature of the capacities, skills, and abilities people use so there is a focus on natural skills in life and work.
This is all based on Perceptual Style Theory (PST), a behavioral science theory created by Lynda-Ross Vega and her colleague Gary Jordan that aims to make sense of the everyday differences people experience between themselves and others. "We've spent 30 years researching and creating a tool that people can easily use to understand themselves and their natural gifts, while also gaining an appreciation for the value of the differences and gifts of other people," says Lynda-Ross.
"The principles of PST show us that use of our natural skills carries incredible weight when it comes to creating a fulfilling life. The truth is people tend to undervalue what they are naturally good at. Because it is easy for them, they assume everyone can do it. And because it's not hard work, then it must not be the key to success. In fact, the exact opposite is true. The more you consciously use your natural skills, the more they become true talents. This is Your Talent Advantage, and when maximized, the more enjoyment and success you have in all aspects of your life."
