A very very small amount of people have really any type of awareness of their strengths and weaknesses. In life you must be aware of both on a very deep level, at least if you want a decent level of success in your life.
You see when we are aware of such things such as our strengths and weaknesses then we know exactly what were dealing with. One we know our strengths, so when we feel like were not valuable for whatever matter we have something we can back on upon that will let us keep that confidence alive. Two we can aware of our weaknesses, that allows us to realise exactly what we need to focus on so we can become better.
These and there are many more benefits we can associate with knowing and being aware of these two subjects which we will go in deeper in a later post. What I want to focus on today is the fact that we don't realise how valuable our weaknesses can be. When we look at our weaknesses we try to avoid them, condemned them, and wishing they would just go away with time.
There is much wisdom and power within those weaknesses. It's easy to point at our strengths and work with them and see their benefit and value to our lives in many ways. But what if I told you that your weaknesses can not only give you the same benefit as your strengths but make even make you a legend.
It sounds absurd, but is true. You see our weaknesses are those things that we would like to get rid of and wonder at times for why we were handle this cards. When in truth they were given to us as a blessing. Look at people who are legends and masters at their professions, if you find their story out you will see that their greatest asset in their type of field that they use and are most common for were once their weakness or weaknesses.
A good example was the famous baseball player "Pete Rose" Pete was born with a gift and that gift was fielding, he was so good at it and impressed virtually anybody who saw him play with his fielding skills, he was such a gifted young man in fielding but terrible at hitting. One day Pete s dad pointed something out that would change his game forever. He told him that he was focusing to much on what he was good at which was fielding but what he needed to really focus on was what he was not that good at which was hitting. So he did and till this day Pete Rose is known as one of the greatest hitters of all time.
When we focus on our weaknesses that makes us put more time in working on them because they require much more time than something we are a bit good at. That means the intensity and the amount of practice we put on them if we want to make them better is way higher than practicing something were already good at. That will only conclude huge and mega positive results on the outcome from it.
And our weaknesses have the potential and give us the opportunity to make us not only good at them but beyond good, legendary is a better word. If you are not good at something or a thing just has not worked out to your favor instead of criticizing the reason and asking why were you born with such weaknesses and feeling helplessness just know that you have opportunities to not only be good on something but actually to be GREAT!
