PRIMARY

Thinking about what is PRIMARY can simplify and guide whatever you are thinking about.

To take a PRACADEMIC approach using POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY, and seek or provide COACHING or MENTORING, you need to have some goals in mind. What are your PRIMARY goals?

If you have a complex challenge to solve, what is the PRIMARY need?

If you are uncertain if you can trust a story, what do you hear from the PRIMARY source?

Don’t be too quick to assume – many things lead to an outcome, what is the PRIMARY cause?

If you are not sure how to prioritize your efforts, what are your PRIMARY goals?

“There are two PRIMARY choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.” –Denis Waitley
