At Human Art: The Original Personality Test we get a lot of requests daily. They range from someone just needing to know something about their design (for example, “is this article my design?”), or something about their thought process, to someone ordering a class, a family reunion or a major corporate event. Needless to say, we are busy and we love it. We have three categories we put our requests or jobs under: Attract, Connect, and Prosper.
Attract is for personal growth. Knowing your design or authenticity and anything that can aid in discovering that. This is where individual consultations come in. It really has to do with your relationship with yourself.
Connect is, once you know yourself, how to better connect with others from that place of authenticity. This is a powerful category because it launches you into your life and connecting in a healthy way with others.
Prosper is how do you put that to use to find and bring more success in your life and in your everyday tasks. I think of this as working smarter, not harder, at what you do.
This is a great way to organize our message when we are serving our clients, but it is not JUST a great way for us to organize Human Art. It could be an amazing tool for YOU to organize each day. Every morning think to yourself: “Attract, Connect, Prosper.”
First, you want to do what you can to feel Attractive in your authenticity. My parents used to teach us to “get up and take whatever time you need to feel attractive in your authenticity.” It is an expression to the world of who you are. So whether it be a pair of jeans you love to show your casualness, or a whimsical pony tail to show your lightness, or even a stark beautiful suit to show your authority or simply a sweater or cologne to express your refinement, take that time. Look in the mirror a final time with approval for yourself and then turn and forget yourselves and go serve.
This leads me to Connect. The important part of connecting is two-fold. One, stay in your authenticity, but Two, always celebrate the differences of the person you are connecting with. Bask in the opposite energy that seems to live in you and those you connect with. When done in a positive way without labels it leads to amazing amounts of synergy. Instead of using the difference as a reason to lose credibility in those you deal with, us it as a starting point of negotiation. You will find great solutions in negotiating that way.
Once you can negotiate in that form it leads you right into more opportunities to Prosper. Prosper means finding your strengths authentically and using those in every task you have on your list, and doing them in your way. I find it works every time.
For example, the task might be to come up with a great new solution to a problem. A Saturated person will always find success when they deem their version of quality on the task and then go to work in a concomitant way with that one most important thing. A Whitened person will always keep in mind how everyone is interacting to find optimal social success. A party is truly a party when everyone is having a good time and they won’t settle until they do. A Grayed person is brilliant in the details. Sometimes after an event I ask to just look at their lists that they made during the planning stages. It is a beautiful thing to see the number of details they cover and the meticulous nature in which they did. It is really like viewing a piece of art. Lastly, a Blackened person will just “get ‘r done.” It’s as if they are moving forward before the orders are even finished being put in. They just start rolling. They are like small human versions of great big bulldozers and trackers and trucks and fleets…I could go on. You get the point. When a Blackened person walks on the job site you know things are going to get done. I appreciate that so much in a task. It brings stability to an event.
So wherever you are stop and think: “Attract, Connect, Prosper” and move forward in that way each day.
And remember, everyone is a masterpiece.
