What is your strength?-A step to Self-awareness

We have all been asked that question during interviews WHAT IS YOUR STRENGTH?, but has it really got to attention on how important how identifying your strength can change your way of life. Do you actually know that getting to know your strength is a step to self-awareness.

What if you received an enormous gift for your birthday. Carefully wrapped in beautiful paper and topped with a gigantic bow, you sit every day and admire the exquisite details.  You feel curious about what’s inside, but neglect to open it because you worry about how you might use it. 

Seems a little ridiculous doesn’t it? When we neglect to discover our strengths we are doing the same thing. Understanding our qualities, talents, and strengths allows us to feel more confidence, purpose, and intention in our lives. But where do we begin?

I did active participation was the strength assessment such as the values in actions (VIA strength test, from the university of pennysylvania). It was mind-blowing over 240 questions and I got remarkable results I would like to share with you. 240 questions you may be wondering but I guess it’s worth the try. Again you need to trust the process and be honest to yourself if you would like to get the best results. There are many personality tests out there but you can try this one. Please allow me share some of mine and these actually do speak about me

My Top Strength was;

Spirituality, sense of purpose, and faith –

Hope this has been insightful. Knowing your strengths helps you focus on where you have room for personal development. Once you’ve determined what you do well and are happiest doing, it becomes easier to see how those things fit into your life.
