Focusing on strengths

Personally it has not been constructive for me to focus on my weaknesses. It has only been making me feel low, unqualified and drains out all my positive energy.

Due to my tendency for excessive self criticism it's proven easier to instead direct my energy into focusing on my strengths which helps establish a better sense of self worth.

The confidence and power of which naturally exudes to help me move past my weaknesse.

And it works like wonders! I had a lot of resistance to try this age old practice because I thought I'd be arrogant and vain otherwise. It requires humility to be truly confident.

So you actually don't lose anything by validating and acknowledging your existing strengths.

You instead get more energy, inspiration and motivation to push past your limitations. Knowing that your worth is not based on how much or how quickly you overcome your weaknesses. When that pressure doesn't exist then you're able to make better progress at your own gentle pace.

Remembering that we're inherently valuable and worthy. That there's no need to prove, compete or convince. To others and expecially ourselves. For growth to happen there has to be some basic foundation first. A sturdy ground founded with the secure knowing and acceptance for who we are at this very moment.

To flourish and grow into a continuously expanding tree filled with colorful flowers of experiences and the fresh tender leaves of trial and error. Neither of which is of impedance to the tree itself from continuing to branch out to it's fullest potential!
