Use Your Strengths
Do you know what your strengths are?
Not just what you’re good at- but what energizes you.
What puts you in the zone. What makes time fly.
What you’d do again, even if no one was watching.
Your Strengths Are Your Responsibility
Those strengths? They’re not accidents. They’re assignments.
Your gifts were given to be used.
They’re not just strengths—they’re responsibilities. Our purpose in life is tied to how we contribute them.
Why It Matters:
Too often, we obsess over our flaws. But that voice that says “you’re not good enough” is not new.
It’s not helpful. And honestly, it’s kind of boring.
Your strengths are more interesting.
They speak to who you are and who you’re becoming.
Strengths aren’t just what you’re good at.They’re the things that energize and strengthen you—even if you’re not good at them… yet.
What To Do:
- Focus on the activities that you want to do again (hopefully Kung Fu or Tai Chi!).
- Don’t confuse talent with passion.
- Forget the external “adornments”—titles, —and focus on the activity itself.
- Practice what you love. Your appetite will lead you to mastery.
And remember: nothing great is done alone.
Your strengths grow stronger in community. That’s what we’re building here at Wah Lum.
Keep practicing. Keep contributing. Keep becoming who you’re meant to be.
