“Discovering your brilliance gives you energy, and rewards you and others, more than anything else you will do” Darcelle
Discovering your strengths I believe, is where we were always meant to start from as people. So often what we learn first through school, and at times from those closest to us is that what we should focus on or need to work on are our weaknesses.
In some countries, strengths are recognized and cherished, celebrated if you will. This is where we were meant to be.
So how do you do it? Where do you start? Well, first you have to look inside to figure out what it is you are truly good at. What are you blessed with, what do you find energy from, what could you do all day long. It’s really what people call your passion. Do you loose time when you are searching the web? Is the information that you are gathering important or just for fun? Perhaps you like research. Do you love working with cars and are good with the mechanics of pulling and putting an engine back together? Maybe you have a collegue who always comes to you for help on a specific subject. What you can put together in a few minutes may take others days to do. Those are the things you excel at.
Remember during this exploration of yourself that there are distinct differences between what you are competent at, what you have excellence in, and what you are brilliant at.
Now once you figure out your brilliance then what? What can I do with it? Well, if you like art and you enjoy writing, you can combine the two and check out a local art gallery, perhaps they need marketing work done on their pieces. The ideas are endless.
Combining what you are good at, your strengths, and what you currently do for a living is the best way to achieve the success you want, or it can revitalize the present job, business, career you are in.
Catching yourself in those moments will help bring you closer to finding your true brilliance. Knowing who you are, and what you bring to the table are vital keys to success.
