Strengths can be weaknesses

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

We all have different (“talents”) strengths and corresponding weaknesses.  This is by design because different roles and jobs require different strengths.  However we may have a strength that becomes a weakness when over applied in given situations.  

We are easy to get along with – we let people take advantage of us.

We are detail oriented – we don’t think big enough.

We are great at starting things – we don’t finish.

We are hard working – we work too much.

If we fully understand what our strengths are, we can keep ourselves in tasks, jobs and situations where our strengths are valued.  At the same time, we must be aware that there are situations where our strengths, or the over application of them is a weakness, and avoid putting ourselves in those situations for long.

What are your strengths, and how or where have they become weaknesses?  What can you begin doing where your strengths are strengths again?

I got home the other night and my head space was a bit out of sorts. I put the master piece in and was trying to do more frantic work…. then there is a line that says “take a shower ” ….. and I was like Yes ! thank you Larry that is exactly what Im going to do……

I did and my mental waves slowed down to a logical pace.

Being born with a physical disability has its challenges all of its own. Being born with a physical disability and fighting to become a productive and professional member of society was in-breaded in me since birth. So now, as I retire after working for the last 35 years, sometimes three jobs at once (by choice) HOW DO I PUT THAT SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT (for my physical health,) when my mind and soul are not ready to wake each morning without a job to go to that I love, a familý or spouse to care for?

For those of you that hit snooze each morning, Do what you Love and Love what you Dò! Those new shoes may be difficult to break in!!
