Your Strengths (Milestone 7.1)

Chapter Seven begins!

👍

Ever notice how easy it is to focus on what you’re not good at?

The better part of my life has been spent seeking perfection. I often focused on - heck, I still do - what I didn’t do well or where I could improve. The pursuit is exhausting.

As a recovering perfectionist, it’s hard not to notice the chinks in the armor.

But in recent years, I’ve tried to shift my focus toward what I do well. Like:

👉 Identifying flavors in a great meal or a “barley pop” 🍺

👉 Discovering music that moves me

👉 Fixing or building just about anything

👉 Connecting with people

👉 Creating and holding space for listening and sharing

Of course, I could make a list of things I want to do differently, too.

What about you? Where do you tend to focus your attention?

Let’s choose to focus on our strengths—not our weaknesses.

It’s a conscious choice.

Choose to amplify your strengths.

Create your life.

P.S. Starting this week, I’m adding a little marker to each Thursday Thought. It’s a simple way to track the journey - a milestone along the path. This is Milestone 7.1. Thanks for walking with me.
