How does that even sound like to turn the switches from left to right? Some will come up with ways of simply ignoring, to some who would partially agree with the concept, and a few who actually test it. Isn’t it interesting to stumble upon something that flourishes you with richness of lifelong happiness.

Martin Seligman, a pioneer of positive psychology, mentioned 3 key components which, i.e.

• engagement
• pleasure
• meaning

In my opinion, with each year passing by, we consistently build up patterns. Those patterns are influenced greatly by our experiences. But the problem arises when we focus elsewhere than of focusing on – What makes individuals thrive, irrespective of the circumstances.

The problem begins as the heart of following this pattern of negativity that prevails. Comparing ourselves with the demons of being average. Almost, all the time, we keep experiencing this word average which is followed by us mapping our progress. Whether it is best performance among average number of students, average IQ or average passing marks.

Why are we striving on becoming one of those among the average. The reason is – we are all so driven by the idea of problem, and working as a problem solver. I believe that this is one of the reasons why we are spiralling downwards. We must begin to think about – how do I progress, how can I generate a powerhouse to positivism.

I was going through some researches, before I decided on what to write about, and what I found in common was that all were nearly looking at it with the focus on problem. Just a handful of them began with a wellness perspective.

The power will be in shifting gears, and avoid calculating yourself by the concept of average, and break this stress cycle.

Food for thought- How about being an outlier , absolutely unperturbed by average.
