Knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are is invaluable. Some people believe that it’s best to rely on their strengths to attain expert level while others believe it’s more important to focus on improving their weaknesses. It feels great to know your strengths and maybe even earn a living from those strengths. The tricky part is finding comfortability with your weaknesses. Try thinking of five of your greatest strengths and five of your weaknesses. Now think of people you know that posses strength where you are weak. Do those same people have weak areas within your strengths? Becoming aware of these differences is insightful and it helps you to be honest with yourself and others. It also helps with the process of learning to love your whole self as you are which is challenging at times. Be assured that there is a divine balance within each of your abilities. Surround yourself with people to “fill in your blanks” and be sure to acknowledge them for their strengths. Who knows, you may become partners in a success business one day. Be kind and patient with yourself.
