“Our strength grows out of our weaknesses.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Someone who only acknowledges their strengths misses out on the opportunity to multiply them. Every time you identify a weakness, you have a chance to transform it. To seek out ways to improve and challenge yourself.

In this way it’s almost more valuable to acknowledge where you’re weak. When you identify something you don’t do well, you:

  • Challenge your ego for the sake of excellence–which is more a process than a destination.
  • Identify areas that require your attention for long-term growth.
  • Give yourself a chance to leverage your current weaknesses while improving them for the future.

Everyone has weaknesses, whether it’s acting on emotions, managing time poorly, thinking negatively, or getting distracted too easily. Acknowledging them gives you the chance to get strong. How can you get strong today?
