Identifying Your Strengths

 
 

      


When we focus on our character strengths, we become more aware of what we really value and what really drives us in a positive way. We then can make decisions about our lives that are in line with what we value. Makes sense, no?


Many of us are pretty good at talking about our weaknesses.
 But what about our strengths?

How well do you really know your strengths 
and how to make the most of them?

    You will find information about the benefits of identifying and using     
         strengths at several websites, including:
                                         www.viacharacter.org 
                                    www.stowawaystar.com
 
       You’ll also find inspiration by reading strengths stories from others                              
            and by sharing your own at StrengthsStories.com.
