Past, Current, and Future Strengths

People in your life will get to know you through your words, your actions, and your feelings. But there's one person who knows you better than anyone else: yourself. Learning about yourself is an important life lesson that we all learn about to some degree. The benefits to doing so can be life-changing, from helping you better achieve your goals, to making new connections easier, to figuring out what makes you truly happy in life. 

When we start learning about ourselves, one of the first things we notice is what our strengths are. Strengths can be qualities like determination, assertiveness, kindness, and many more. Above, we've linked a worksheet that you can fill out, to help discover your current strengths and abilities, and how they can lead you to future goals and successes.

These steps, from asking for feedback, to discovering your passions, to simply taking a moment to slow down and appreciate your surroundings, can all be used not only to know yourself, but to improve yourself if you feel like you're not at your very best.
