Now discover your strengths
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best everyday?
Chances are you don't.
We usually devote most of our time to fixing our weeknesses, rather than building on our strengths or talents. We focus on our shortcomings more than our strengths or skills. Most people can quickly list all the weak /trouble spots in their lives that they are working on.
Even with learning programs we are forced to identify our weakness and strive, or study, or struggle to improve in these areas.
When our kids come home with reports from school...we automatically notice their weakest scores as what we need to assist them with.
What if we identified our strengths and worked towards maximizing them further?
Have you ever caught yourself saying "you can be anything you want to be when you grow up!"
I'm not so sure I agree with this statement.
Our current culture does. If you want to be a millonaire just "buy this book" or watch a saturday morning infomercial. If you want a deeper more fullfilling life, just follow these guidelines or find the "secret".
What if we taught our children this instead:
"You cannot be anything you may want to be....but, you can be a whole lot more of what God has already designed you to be!

I read this book too! Isn't is great! God used this book to really begin to show me how He wired me. I'm still learning but this was a huge first step.
