Being You ‘ Recognizing Your Strengths by Ann Golden Egle
Our life’s journey has many tributaries to the path and on those journeys, sometimes see that, not only are we ‘good,’ but in fact we are phenomenal at being who we are. It’s unimportant if we’re male or female, married or single, a blue collar or a white collar worker. What does matter is the beauty of our individuality. Oh sure, sometimes we have egg on our faces, but those other times, when our performance is spot on, the beauty of our greatness does shine. These are the times we want to chat about.
A well-lived life will have many points when this realization comes to light. The common phrase I love hearing clients say is: “Damn, I’m Good!”
Realizing just how great you are may come as a ‘moment in time’ to be reflected upon for years to come. Instances of this are the completion of a phenomenal piece of art, an outstanding presentation, negotiation, decision, bold move – truly making a difference in yours or another person’s life.
It’s sad to think that when you recognize your greatness, you might instantly flip to “Oh but I need to improve this area.”. I’m quite confident that during your upbringing, somebody innocently taught you to look at your mistakes and not your successes: ‘You learn from your mistakes.’
Though we do learn from our mistakes, we can learn even more by acknowledging our strengths and building upon them! What you think about becomes your reality. You can chose to generate a new reality, so would you want to do what you do that’s erroneous, or would you prefer to have more of what you do wonderfully?
Think about any great athlete. Do they enter their game with feelings of doubts, fears, assumptions or projections? Those preoccupations get them nowhere. Greatness is created by continually focusing upon that at which you are really, really good today and what strengths or traits you want to enhance tomorrow.
This week, prepare an inventory of what you are great at. Ask others to help. Think back to when you felt the best about yourself. It doesn’t matter what others thought, just what you thought. No other individual can know you better than you can yourself. Did you allow these times to go by without stopping to say “I so Rock?”
Use the word ‘period’ freely and often in this exercise. For example, the statement “I am great at problem solving, period.” has a lot more meaning than “I am great at problem- solving in this one area, but in others _____.” If you degrade yourself by continuing the sentence after the word ‘period,’ it defeats the purpose of realizing your greatness.
You can realize your greatness while simply being you without becoming arrogant. It’s now, so stand tall and be counted as one astonishing and talented person. Recognize and celebrate it. Enjoy your discoveries and have an stimulating week.
