We become so dependent on our strengths instead of concentrating on other areas that might need improvement. One can even say that because it is the only strength we know which results in us becoming set in our ways. We close ourselves off to suggestions and change.
Generally we feel intimidated and threatened by people with equal strengths. We tend to forget that we can learn from their strengths and better our weaknesses. When we come across people that are weaker in our areas of strength, we tend to walk all over them. We should actually help these people grow and it will automatically help in bettering ourselves. It is like the saying goes, ‘we got to give a little in order to receive a little.’
I think the main idea is that we should not let our strengths control our lives, we should benefit from it and so should others. Our strengths are there to enhance our lives, if used correctly, it will not become our greatest weakness.

It is so true that we tend to point fingers at others when they are weaker than us but we do not realize we are not perfect and what goes around, comes around.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with this article and I do try help and empower others, while also trying to develop my own weaknesses.
