Tuesday Motivation:Discover Your Instinctive Advantage

You  already  have  everything within you  that  you  need  to  create  an  exceptional  life.~ Dan Sullivan

As humans, we have a tendency to undervalue ourselves. It’s not because we don’t offer anything valuable to the world, it’s just that we’re blind to what makes us great.

Take for instance a simple job interview. Have you ever been stumped by the “What’s your greatest strength” question?

Maybe you rattled off some generic answer like “I’m a multitasker” or a “people person.” Maybe you just sat there with sweaty palms and a blank stare.

Either way, it probably wasn’t the awe-inspiring response you wanted to give.

Now, there is no doubt that you are amazing at something. But it’s highly likely that you’ve got your self-sabotaging blinders on and can’t see what it is.

Our blinders make it tough to communicate our value to anyone else. If we don’t know our strengths, how can we possibly exploit them to our advantage?

• Are you a master at building relationships?
• Are you an excellent motivator who inspires action?
• Maybe you’re observant, highly organised and naturally strategic?

All of these are desirable strengths, yet often, even if we know we possess them, we don’t acknowledge their significance because they come so easily to us.

We underestimate their worth and brush them off as unimportant. But there’s no doubt they are important.

When you can confidently articulate what you bring to the table and how it can benefit any situation, it leads to a powerful transformation in your personal identity and sense of self-worth.

Whether it’s to start a business, make your next career move, or create a stronger family unit, you’ll be able to present the best version of you in every scenario.

By digging deeper into your strengths, you can unlock the door to a whole new world of opportunity. But first you’ve got to uncover what is it about you that makes you both different, and better.

                

If you focus on your strengths (and learn to ignore your weaknesses), you will make faster progress towards your goals.
