More often than not, we see our flaws and overlook our strengths! We see those flaws as faults and they stop us from moving forward, seeking progress and becoming the best we can be. But are others’ really seeing you as you see you? Typically they don’t even realize something that stands out to you. Their focus is different than yours!
Focusing on a weakness gets you nowhere but building on your strengths can be rewarding! Let me give you an example. I have a short neck and I hate it! But I do not make the assumption that others have even noticed this. I choose to believe others are focused on what I say and not how I look. My value comes from within not from how I look.
I used the word “choose” because we do have the choice on what and where we focus our attention. I know my flaws. I choose not to focus on them. I choose to focus on moving forward and building upon what I know, believe and aspire to.
The Choice is Yours – choose to move forward and not stay stuck in what you can’t change!
