Are your “weaknesses” really strengths in disguise? What if you’re not lazy, but efficient? What if you’re not loud, but exuberant? What if you’re not overly cautious, but deliberate in your actions? And what if that anxiety is actually just deep caring?
List out what you think are your weaknesses – the things you’ve been trying to change about yourself. Now, find the way that these are strengths. Break it down into steps if you have to – scared is cautious is deliberate. What is a more positive way to look at things?
To quote Rachel Hollis in “Girl, Stop Apologizing”: “Not having the knowledge makes you teachable, no stupid. Not being in shape just makes you moldable, not lazy. Not having the experience just makes you eager, not ignorant. Flip the script and force yourself to see the positive where you’ve only seen negative. What are the advantages of not knowing, not understanding, not conquering, not having, not achieving your goals yet? The YET matters. The yet reminds us that we have a whole week, month, life ahead of us to become who we were made to be.”
Let me know what you think of this one – I’d love for you to comment and let me know how you flipped your “weakness” into your greatest asset!
