Lesson 5 - 10 Happiness DNA DQ4 "What Have You Repeated With Ease?"

"Life Scene Investigation and this class uses DNA both as a scientific reality but also as a way to describe who you are. DNA is a code with defined elements called alleles. Those alleles are the differences which define your uniqueness. There are certain characteristics you possess that define your potential. We are born with certain things that cannot be changed. We are also our own history – Nurture. All those forces, experiences and people who influence our lives. We call this Nature and Nurture.

Natural (n) “any person or thing that is or is likely or certain to be very suitable to and successful in an endeavor without much training or difficulty.”

Discovering Happiness DNA is about knowing what you do with ease. Life is tough at the best of times. Discovering and knowing those things that define what we do best and without having to really even think is very important.

What have you done over and over again and it was just easy? So often the things that we repeat with ease and bring us a sense of control and they help us make sense of the world.

Natural – the capacity to do something over and over again because it is innate to the design.

Talent – the capacity to repeat exceptional actions.

Talents are those patterns of behavior, thinking and motivation that we repeat over and over again because they are part of who we are, our Natural pathway.

A Forensic “Signature” is a way of identifying someone because of their consistent mode of operation.

If you have done the VIA or StrengthsFinder the reports talk about your "Signature" strengths.

They repeat behaviors because it is part of their nature.

What have others said you are a Natural at?

What have you always done well that requires little to no thought, training or motivation?
