We all have strengths and weaknesses, whether or not from nature or nurture. We can leverage our strengths even further and we can shore up our weaknesses.

I always struggle with deciding which to focus on, desiring to focus on my strengths, but feeling guilt of ignoring weaknesses. The truth or best way to be probably somewhere in between. Leaning into our strengths to address our weaknesses. The classic example that comes to mind is earning more money in your profession in order to pay for something else that takes time and isn’t a strength like mowing the lawn, cleaning the house, or getting your own groceries.

Ultimately our weaknesses shouldn’t be ignored, they should be addressed, but it doesn’t mean we have to spend all of our time working on them and forsake what we could have built with our strengths.

Lean into your strengths and cover your weaknesses.
