Philosophy of Success
Developing a Personal Philosophy of Success
Ask yourself the following question; “What do I actually believe in – – when I think of success, personal or otherwise” — ?
We all have beliefs on all manner of things, however, most professional coaches will tell you it’s a rare thing for their clients to have taken time to stop and reflect and consider in a deliberate way their beliefs. This is possibly an error as our beliefs are what drive our behaviours and ultimate success or otherwise in life.
Know Thyself
“Know thyself” is a philosophical maxim which was inscribed upon the Temple of Apollo in the ancient Greek precinct of Delphi. “Know yourself” is the foundation stone of all philosophical commandments, Socrates once observed.
The phrase “Know thyself,” is centuries old, but it’s still one of the essential meta-skills of the 21st century. Aristotle also said: “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”
However, how many of us can say, “Yes, I really do know myself, I know and understand what I believe in and they are key to my path to success and happiness”.
The Foundation & The Four Pillars
The four pillars of Neuro-Linguistic Programming—Rapport, Acuity, Outcome Focused, and Behavioural Flexibility, form the foundational principles that underpin this powerful psychological approach. By applying these principles, individuals can enhance their communication skills, develop meaningful relationships, set and achieve compelling goals, and adapt their behaviours to navigate challenges effectively. The integration of these pillars in practice enables individuals to unleash their full potential for personal growth and positive transformation.
The presuppositions of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) offer a set of empowering beliefs that can transform the way individuals perceive themselves and the world around them. By embracing these presuppositions, practitioners develop a mindset rooted in resourcefulness, compassion, and personal responsibility.
The adoption of these presuppositions allows individuals to unlock their potential for personal growth, effective communication, and positive change. Through continued exploration and application, the presuppositions of NLP become powerful tools for transforming lives and facilitating the development of a Personal
Philosophy of Success!
