I recently led a full-day Virtual Reflection Retreat for HSPs in Business and Leadership as part of their Business Miracles Community membership. Our focus for the day was HOPE.
Now, it might seem strange with everything happening in the world right now to be focusing on hope for an entire day. You might ask, “how is that going to help me with my end of year numbers? Or growing my business in the new year? What about all the people who are suffering? Everywhere else I turn I’m getting messages of pull back, double-down, and hustle hard.”
Which is exactly why hope is important now more than ever.
As I shared during the retreat day, according to the book, Build The Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier by Arthur Brooks and Oprah Winfrey,
“…optimism is the belief that things will turn out all right; hope makes no such assumption but is a conviction that one can act to make things better in someway”.
For the HSPs in business and leadership that I mentor we don’t give in to cultural cries of devastation, despair or succumb to doomsday predictions of destruction. I mentor my members to use the unique skills, talents and traits we possess as HSPs to create miracles in business and life. This way you can act to make things better in someway for yourself and therefore also for others.
