Creativity, Bravery, Love, Teamwork, Forgiveness, Zest and Authenticity, are just a few of the strengths that can make up a person's character. A person's character strengths are what makes them unique. We apply our strengths in our life which results in self confidence and opportunity for growth.
Most people aren't aware of their strengths and how they are applied to their daily life. They just do it! A focus of our weaknesses can become a blockage as we can be hard on ourselves by looking at who we aren't instead of who we are. Over a lifetime of being told we aren't being what others want us to be, we forget what we are authentically good and have not had positive reinforcement for our strengths. Depending on your generation you might have experienced parents, friends and teachers, to name a few, that point out our weaknesses.
These days there is a growing awareness of supporting a person's strengths instead of what they aren't or think they should be doing. Everyone has strengths and can easily discover these by looking at where they are in life and how far they have come. It is your strength that was applied to getting your new job, starting a new hobby, exploring a new fitness or even wanting a slower pace of life. You applied yourself with Resiliency, Courage, Curiosity and Perseverance.
Our strengths can grow over time and will even change. You can grow or expand any personal strength through mindfulness of where your skills are and if it is an area you could learn to strengthen further while adding new strengths along the way. By exploring and acknowledging your strengths you open up new opportunities and life experiences which will support you in applying them to becoming your best self. Discover your strengths today and see where you can apply them for positive personal growth.
