Too often we get the message that we need to “be better.”

That message typically tells us that we should work on our weaknesses, raise the bar on our low points, become more well-rounded. Weaknesses are often thought of as temporary states, and in many cases this might be true.

Focus on your strengths.

What if we did work on the things we’d like to be better at, but spent even more time on the things that we’re good, maybe even great, at? For certain you can still get better at these, and it probably will be more fun working on them.

Sharpening the tools that work really well for you will also improve your confidence. You’ll see more successes along the way that will bring with them positive feelings of achievement. This in turn leads to confidence.

Surely working on the things you’re good at is not the only way to practice. Ensuring that you can survive all aspects of competition and not fall too far behind in areas of weakness is important, too. However, you should not forget to polish your strengths. Not only will you separate yourself from others, but you’ll feel great about the little wins you have each day.
