Success comes to us when we focus on our strengths and passions. There are a myriad of tests, surveys, and profiles you can take to help you determine your true strengths and deepest passions. But I think if you look at yourself objectively and seek the opinions of trusted family members, friends, and colleagues, these will become apparent to you.
Your strengths are tasks that come easily for you but are difficult for others. These are generally activities that you may overlook because you have a talent for them, you enjoy them, or at least don’t dread them because they are easy and natural for you.

Is that correct? I wanted to make sure that we got that on the record so that we know that this wasn’t stacked.”
