THE MINDSET OF HIGH ACHIEVERS - Powerful Motivational Video for Success: High achievers are persons who are willing to go above and beyond to attain their goals.
They do it for two reasons: to help others and to feel good about themselves. They find meaning by constantly aiming for the next big thing.
Do you consider yourself to be a high achiever? And what good does it do you to name yourself this way?
Personality tests and labels, I've always believed, should be taken with a spoonful (yikes!) of salt rather than a grain of salt. They were only mildly entertaining, and I never gave them much credit for assisting me in better understanding myself.
These days, I think they're more valuable. Although personality types can never fully capture the richness of human beings, they can reveal some common tendencies. If you use labels like "high achiever" or "very sensitive person" lightly, they can help you notice qualities in yourself that you hadn't noticed previously.
Knowing you're a high achiever might help you identify and capitalize on your assets. At the same time, it might reveal what you've been missing and encourage you to pay more attention to aspects of your life that have previously been overlooked.
