20. Get Past Your Weaknesses With the ”So What” Strategy: You Can’t Be Amazing at Everything.

Episode 20: In this part 2, we continue our conversation about how to break free from beliefs and actions that keep us from thriving and moving forward with focus and purpose, specifically with our weaknesses. How we interact with our weaknesses really matters. We've been taught and conditioned from our earliest years that weaknesses are meant to be turned into strengths. Think about it: how many times were you encouraged or even forced to improve things you weren't really good at? 

Are we supposed to improve our weaknesses? How much improvement is necessary? We all have strengths and weaknesses, but how do we determine which weaknesses deserve attention and which we can leave alone? How often do you feel guilty, embarrassed, and frustrated because you don't have someone else's specific trait or skill? Did you know over 50% of your personality traits are part of your DNA? Some strengths didn't come in the package!

In part 2, we are going to focus on how we can determine if (yes, I did say if) a weakness can become a strength if we even need it to be a strength, and how strong it has the potential to be. You know that you really can't be awesome at everything, so that means you will suck at many things. If we can't accept this, if we can't celebrate who we are, then we will work ourselves to exhaustion trying to continually improve our non-strengths (AKA: Weaknesses).

In this episode, I will share with you:

1. The weakness catagories 

2. The problem with the weakness bucket that leads to shame

3. Why the "So What" approach makes sense

4. How we moralize and spiritualize ourselves into stuckness

5. How to use "So What" to determine which weaknesses don't matter

and so much more. It's all packed into this episode and delivered with love. This episode has deep application for your professional goals and relationships as well as your personal mission and the relationships that matter most to you. I know how much this reframing empowered me and my clients to change how they approach weaknesses. I want you to know this too, because God wants you to be F R E E!
