A sense of accomplishment, as you know, is essential for helping people maintain a healthy sense of purpose as they work toward attaining success. After celebrating the successful completion of a task, a sense of accomplishment benefits every aspect of a person's life, including mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and instills hope and optimism.

People who experience accomplishment in life share several characteristics:

• They tend to be optimists and have a positive outlook on life, especially in areas of their interest.
• They are realists who are committed to achieving goals. This commitment means recognizing problems, setbacks, and barriers, not denying their existence.
• They understand there are ways to move around roadblocks they encounter to find solutions.
• They persevere until they are successful. After celebrating a successful accomplishment, they set new goals and persist in overcoming challenges.

This workbook is part of Positive Psychology – The Hope Series, a five-book series created by Dr. Michelle Scallon and Dr. John Liptak. Their Hierarchy of Hope model helps people generate hope and create a new purpose after experiencing significant or traumatic changes. As a professional, your role in using this workbook to help participants develop optimism, realism, commitment, and perseverance to generate a sense of accomplishment is invaluable.

Accomplishments are the building blocks that enable people to see themselves as capable, construct a sense of themselves as successful, and motivate themselves to set and work toward achieving additional goals.

The exercises and therapeutic processes included in Generate a Sense of Accomplishment in Your will help participants form a version of success infused with meaning and substance.
