Indisputable is the fact that life would be better and more meaningful if humans give it an honoring touch by working in line with how it would soothe and simplify the existential coexistence of everyone. Centuries, decades, years, months, and days account for the change in man’s everyday life, and no doubt, man through emphasis and experiences has grown, but in many cases has summed up to discover that he has been much of a “less good person”.

No one takes the the blame, not even man himself (at least not at all) for man to let go of anger; by all means, support others_ he has to, first of all, take very good care of himself; to put himself first with some enthusiasm, priority, and even with some flair of egocentrism. To value himself, as well as others, alongside all other self-edifying practices that point towards growth. The result is that he would easily detect the reason why he revolves around a circle that is yielding no developmental result.

Nonetheless, in the midst of all of this, there ought to be an inner voice that speaks of the default, or if not so, this piece should go in place of that_ so it goes to ask questions like “Why don’t I go up?”, I am evolving daily, but why do I see and still feel I’m not what I should be?”. Take this for an answer_” Have you considered leveraging on your strengths and not your weaknesses?

So it goes to ask questions like “why don’t I go up?”, I am evolving daily, but why do I see and still feel I’m not what I should be?”.

Leveraging on my strengths you say? But How would that even make me a better person? A crucial question!!! But before I delve into response attempts, part of the quintessence of leveraging your strength is using what you are and have, to strive hard through such channels to be what want to become (in this case a better person).

TIPS ON LEVERAGING YOUR STRENGTHS.

From whatever sphere of life or area specialization, there’s got to be an amount of strength you exercise towards that which you do. Yet, of course, there are weaknesses, but the more you present your teachable qualities, there’s nothing that’d be beyond repair and this gives a bonus fact that you are multiplying efficiency( already becoming a better person)… But without going off context, here are a few tips on how you can leverage your strengths…

Yet, of course, there are weaknesses, but the more you present your teachable qualities, there’s nothing that’d be beyond repair

This lays the foundation for where you’d get to eventually. Say, for instance, you’re very good with public speaking_ you’d as expected, first work on making sure you see yourself addressing crowds, little by little, till you eventually grow to have large crowds. Why is this important? First off, you’re growing in your area of specialization, and your talent is being built upon. Secondly, this builds you up to stand above your weaknesses and will also empower you to garner more stamina for your strengths. These and lots more, depending on the area, will go just fine when they are attended to accordingly with careful disposition.

2_ WORK ON YOUR BELIEFS AND LET SOME OUT..

What you believe can either stimulate you or downgrade you. Nonetheless, it all depends on what it is you are actually relying on, and the reason why you are believing. These questions are the most deeply rooted and hardest aspects of personal vitalities, why? Because they define what you will achieve, ascertain how far you can go, and even reveal what you can endure. For as much as strengths are important, and carry maximum gravity to keep you stable; weaknesses never lay low until you subdue them. So you might just be giving grace to whom it is not due (talking about letting your belief be the source of letting weakness get a grip on you).

For as much as strengths are important, and carry maximum gravity to keep you stable; weaknesses never lay low until you subdue them.

The African society, for instance, has indoctrinated many beliefs, mostly driven by cultures that tend to go blind to the reality that such a mirage only captivates growth. So for personal growth, it’s high time you abrogate such perceptions, pave the way for intertwining different ideas, and key into the standards of becoming a better individual and you’d surely see that indeed you are building on your strengths and not your weaknesses.

3. YOUR BEHAVIOR MATTER TOO…

You could put a long list of steps you’ve got to follow to become a better person, with delicate precision. But an important sauce that needs to be spiced up is behavior, and as essential as it is, it could ruin the efforts of being prudent in the way you handle tasks. It is a needed scheme you have to put in place. It facilitates what you apply in your skills and has a great effect on your strengths but also takes a very humble and honest person to do that (also parts of the subdivision of behaviors). Hence, monitor your behavior.

4_BELIEVE IN YOURSELF…

I know it's most often mentioned, and it's even a cliché when people say ‘believe in yourself’; yet it's true, you should be your biggest fan. This should played out after you have legislated the most general belief that stood as gallops and setbacks in your path, you then move ahead to trust yourself to achieve all that you have put in place. You are the only one that can do that so you have to get working.

I know its most often mentioned, and its even a cliché when people say ‘believe in yourself’; yet its true, you should be your biggest fan.

It is actually important to get rid of beliefs that you dug deep into, but it is vital when you learn to accept the fact that you can do all that you set yourself to do_ You want people to see how good you are and even value you. Do that to yourself first and every other thing will fall in place….

Bring together all that you formerly used to better yourself and make yourself even more better, by working on gaining strengths or adding up to the already existing ones …
