How can I figure out what my strengths or my weaknesses are? Can I tell by the number of compliments I receive? And what about the insults? What do people really think of me? Do I even care what people say about me? The answer is yes I can tell by all of these things and I do care what people think and say about me. .
Through many trials and tribulations during the course of my life I have come to realize what my strengths and weaknesses are. I can always identify my biggest strength because it has been with me as long as I can remember and that strength is my dependability. I have been told that I am there for support or comfort regardless of the situation. I have prided myself on my ability to be a non-judgmental, open-minded person who will always have an extra pair of hands, a shoulder to lean on or a tissue for you to wipe your tears. When you think no one will understand and you"re in a dark tunnel all alone I will be there with a light to help get you through. Sometimes this strength can be a bothersome thing. I say this only because I am always someone's back-up just in case things don't go according to plan and this interferes with my life, but I wouldn't let that stop me from being there when needed. Another one of my strengths is my willingness to learn. If I don't know something I am not afraid to ask. No matter the length of time it takes I will learn it, which in my opinion is a wonderful way to cope with this ever-changing world.
One of my biggest weaknesses is my ability to be helpful. I know most people would say they don't see helpfulness as a weakness but in my case it is. I like to help people in any capacity but there are times when I go overboard. Usually when I am done helping I am so exhausted that I can't pick up my own finger. I am too tired from helping to accomplish the things I need to get done for my family and myself and thus lies the problem.
