My Strengths

My top five strengths are according to strengthsquest.com:

“Adaptability
People strong in the Adaptability theme prefer to "go with the flow." They tend to be "now" people who take things as they come and discover the future one day at a time.

Communication
People strong in the Communication theme generally find it easy to put their thoughts into words. They are good conversationalists and presenters.

Strategic
People strong in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.

Positivity
People strong in the Positivity theme have an enthusiasm that is contagious. They are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are going to do.

Woo
People strong in the Woo theme love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. They derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with another person.”

As I examine each of these strengths, I can see how they apply to my life and to my personality.
Adaptability has enabled me to be relaxed in my life style. To take things as they come and live a generally carefree lifestyle. It has allowed me to take one task at a time while also being able to take a break and have some fun.

The strength of communication has given me the gift of conversing with others. It has blessed me in my ability to explain myself well in confrontations. It has also allowed me to feel comfortable in presentations. It has helped me to journal and write my thoughts as a form of processing events and information.

Being strategic has helped me when I get into a jam or have a project. I often have a vision, but not a way of best accomplishing that vision. This strength has granted me the opportunity to best tackle and complete my dream.

Having the strength of positivity has blessed me immensely. My parents always taught me to see the glass as half-full. I am an outgoing person and I love to get others excited about my passions and goals.

Woo is a huge part of my personality. I greatly enjoy getting to know people and understand where they have come from. I love sparking up conversation with strangers and break the ice to make a bond.

All of these strengths make up who I am, my personality, and…
This is me ☺

Who am I?

Let’s be honest, I hate questions like this. There are so many ways to answer it! I am going to give it my best shot, so bear with me please. I am many things, each of which makes up who I am. I am shaped by my experiences and my past. I have learned from my trials and grown from my life. I have been told that I should be a certain way, whether it is to act perfect or to look perfect. But this is who I am.
I am a child of God, beloved and perfect in His eyes. I am a daughter and a sister. I am a student and a teacher. I am a listener and I am a talker. I am a woman who just wants to have fun. I am a woman who wants to make the most of every moment and opportunity in my life. I am a woman who still loves to pick flowers. I am a woman who can stare at a sunset and never get bored. I am an adult on the outside, but a child at heart. I am in love with my family, friends, and my boyfriend. “I’m in love, I’m in love, and I don’t care who knows it!” (a quote from the movie Elf).
I am a dork who loves to be goofy. I am silly and outgoing no matter what day of the week it is. I am loud and outspoken; I am quiet and reserved. It just depends on when you find me. I am a risk taker while still being a bit of a wimp. I am creative and competitive. I am a listening ear when you need to vent. I am a leader and a servant. I am in love with God and willing to let Him take my life and teach me what I need to learn.
This is me. ☺
