This is the energy people deploy in moving towards their goals. It is the energy that gives us the determination, enthusiasm and resilience to formulate and achieve our goals in life. People with a high MTG energy are those who see opportunities and are often prepared to take risks to seize them. People with a lower MTG energy will often see obstacles in the way of any goals they have and when the going gets tough they will give up earlier than those with higher energy. They are optimistic.
Optimism is a characteristic that is the basis of positive thinking.
It is a psychological resource that gives people a generalized expectancy that they will succeed in their endeavors. Expected success will in turn give people the will to expend more effort to realize their goals. Obstacles are stepping stones, not stumbling blocks. When an obstacle arises, successful executives are able to generate lots of possible pathways and ultimately select the best one to effectively remove the obstacle. People without multi-pathway skills tend to follow a single pathway to achieve what they want.
