CRASHING INTO POTENTIAL
Have you crashed into your potential? My name is Scott B Harris and I am the author of the book, CRASGING INTO POTENTIAL: Living with my injured brain. At the ripe old age of 23, I came face to face with adversity, when I crashed my KTM 450 dirtbike into a mate. This left me with lasting injuries including severe brain damage, paralysis, and the use of only one arm. This was the start of my new life. Since that fateful day, I have been clawing my way back into a society that accepts me for who I am and not for who I WAS (and by "Society", I mean myself. I had to learn how to accept MYSELF in my new life with all my imperfections). Come with me and learn how to be resilient in the face of adversity and crash into your own potential.
CRASHING INTO POTENTIAL
EP.15 - LEARNED OPTIMISM
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode is all about cultivating an optimistic mindset. Throughout the podcast I make reference to a book by Martin Seligman, Learned Optimism. The 3 P’s that are used to explain our successes and our failures in life. How we explain these to ourselves will determine whether we have an optimistic mindset in certain situations or a pessimistic mindset.
The pessimist will explain things in their own head very differently to an optimist and when it comes to failures, they say and act very helpless in situations.
