Who Are You?


You are a unique human who has a unique compilation of gifts and abilities.  There is a good chance you have not fully identified those yet.  Many (most?) never do.  I am convinced it takes a whole lot of experimenting,  challenges, failure, perseverance,  desire,  collaboration,  conflict,  frustration, time and energy to figure it out.  I do believe there are assessment tools that can be helpful with the identification process as well.  Certainly some are much more helpful than others. 

This is worth figuring out.  Symptoms of not figuring it out are:  boredom, frustration,  feeling out of place,  lots of energy with little results,  hating what you do,  well we all know what this feels and looks like don't we. 

But what if you do figure it out?  What if you know what your strengths, gifts and abilities are and you choose to use them and apply them?  And what if on the other hand you know what your weaknesses are and you choose to do less of that and let others who are good at it do it?   What if you started a business using your strengths?   What would that look like? It is no guarantee of success.  But it certainly moves you down a path of being more useful to yourself and society.  Find your strengths (over the years).  Take the risk!   We all benefit from you pursuing those and letting others pursue theirs.  Take the risk!
