“A strength is an
activity that makes
you feel strong.”

Your strengths are those activities that
make you feel strong.
Some activities make you feel weak,
bored or frustrated even though
you are quite good at them.
These are not your strengths.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our
darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to
be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you
not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world.”
- Marianne Williamson
