What Do You Do Best?

The final aspect of what creates the foundation of who we are is our strengths—those things that we do particularly well.  This may be a tricky area for you because we often downplay what we’re good at—"It’s easy for me, so it must not be a big deal.  Can’t everyone do this?"  If you’re not sure of your strengths, ask yourself, “What am I able to do consistently well and with relative ease?  What do people often ask me to do for them?  What skills come naturally to me or which ones have I been successful at working to hone?”   It is interesting to note that research has shown that happy people are, at least in part, those individuals who find ways to use their strengths everyday.

What do you do best and how often do you have the opportunity to use your strengths?
