Focus on Strengths

This month, I will be sharing practical strategies used in Positive Psychology that you can use to feel happier and more enthusiastic for life. Today we will look at focusing on strengths!

Most of us are conditioned to work on our weaknesses. If my handwriting is untidy, the natural assumption is that I should spend time and effort correcting it, but ultimately neat handwriting will not change my effectiveness in my job or life.

Focusing time and effort on strengths rather than shortcomings brings far greater reward. If you have a natural talent and passion for something, then spend more time doing that. It will make you happy and you will feel more accomplished because the outcome will be far more meaningful to you.
