You know, I saw this title and thought 'ha, that sounds like something I'd say' then realised it was something I'd said. Yeah, Alzheimers....it's only a matter of time. Still, at least I didn't read the post and think 'hey, that Caitlin sounds like someone I'd like to meet'. So true Kathy, I’ve been selling myself short too, I’ve just realised I’m a cranky bitch AND wise beyond my years!!

Why do we have a tendency to focus on what we aren't good at it??? We all need to remember our strengths and remind our children on a daily basis! Thanks for that "refresher course".

I was struggling thru an accounting class in college (barely making Cs) because I thought I needed a "marketable" degree. My professor called me to his office one day because he'd seen an essay I wrote. "What the hell are you doing in my class? You're a writer. Get to the English Dept now." I still bless him. Do what you love. Everything else will come in its time. I second, third and fourth your recommendation of StrengthsFinder 2.0!

I think we all need an occasional refresher in our strengths because they do change with experience and growth. why dont they teach us that in school? i think kids would be happier and learn more if they did... love love love this! it is so true that by developing your strenghts you are also strengthening your weaknesses!
