These 20 inspirational quotes will help you tap into your strength to overcome obstacles and achieve any goal you set forth. My motto “Focus on your strengths.”
Unfortunately, we live in a society that likes to focus on “weaknesses” and in “fixing” things. You see it in the workplace whether in a for profit organization or a non-profit entity like the educational system. Coincidentally, you also see it in the home and from an early age we learn to focus on our weaknesses. For instance, the focus is on the thing you missed or the grade you didn’t make no matter how many accolades or high grades you may have had.
This mindset causes a feeling of insufficiency as in you are not enough. A huge fallacy since it takes a lot of energy to “fix” things. While you are being drained trying to fix and work on your weaknesses, you could be working joyously and fully with your strengths.
Focusing on weaknesses rather than your strength puts you in a disadvantageous position. When you focus on your strengths and play up your strengths, you will be working with more energy and vitality. In addition, your creativity will surge and you will feel dynamic as you bring life into your endeavors.
I say, go out there and play full out with your strengths, preferences and interests. You know what you like, enjoy and are good at.
