When it comes to personal growth, knowing your strengths and weaknesses is the path to being at peace with who you are.
But here’s something interesting… what you believe to be your strengths might actually be weaknesses in the eyes of others.
Why?
Let’s say you are a strong, independent individual. This can make you a great leader at work, but a negligent friend or partner if you try to use your strengths as the absolute measure of your character regardless of the situation.
Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is the first step – the awareness. The second step, which is arguably even more important, is learning how and when to use each.
Asking for feedback from those you trust at home or at work can give you an indication of where you are lacking balance and where there’s room for improvement.
