Identifying what works for me and what doesn’t is about identifying my strengths. Every person comes into this world with at least one talent or gift. Identifying and focusing on these talents or gifts is an important key to success.
Some people spend most of their time struggling to develop something that is not their passion at all. Smart people move from success to success by following the path that their passion and gifts have paved for them.
Steps I can take to differentiate between success and failure:
- Accept that you can’t do everything.
Accepting and calming yourself down, believing that there are things we cannot do no matter how hard we try, is a sign of maturity. Some people view admitting that they cannot do something as a defeat, so they tire themselves out when they struggle with what they are not given.
- Let go of what is holding you back.
It is a sign of wisdom to gradually let go of what is bothering you and what is not appealing to you. You must realize that when you spend a lot of time, energy, and money on something that is not working for you, you are wasting what is working for you.
- Grow what works for you.
Identifying what works for you and what inspires you and dedicating more time to it is a great key to success. Whatever you do, never build on your weaknesses, but on your strengths.
