Day Fourteen

Describe 5 strengths you have.


1. I appreciate the simple things in life. It doesn't take a grand gesture to knock my socks off, though I would be sure to swoon! A heartfelt compliment or some simple flowers and I'd be a puddle. The same can be said of my professional career. I don't need big awards or extra incentives, just genuine appreciation for what I am doing is enough for me.


2. In my opinion anyway, I think humor is one of my strengths. I try to make sure that others around me find joy in spending time with me. Nothing is better than helping someone find laughter through tears.


3. I also believe that I am a good listener. While I do talk frequently, I know when someone needs me to lend them my ear. And I will dispense advice when solicited. I believe I have an aptitude for connecting with people.


4. In building a quick connection with people, I am also empathetic/sympathetic. I do my best to look for the good in people and in doing so it is easy to offer up my reflections on similar experiences or offer my beliefs in connection with a situation I may not have experienced on my own.


5. I have recently be told that I am persistent. While most of the time I suspect others may find this a negative aspect of my personality, I can see the positive in it. I will work to get things done, and will not a little bump in the road deter me from the means to the end of a project!
