Mindful Monday - Strengths and Weaknesses

About This Talk

Our strengths always happen to be our weaknesses too, Chris says, because that is how each of us is made. He asks listeners to understand and honor both sides, the gifts and the matching gaps, and to use that self-knowledge to keep their balance and make adjustments.

Key Ideas

• Strengths and weaknesses come in pairs: a highly creative person who sees things in the mind’s eye is typically not a detail person.
• Understanding both sides is part of knowing ourselves, and the more in tune we are, the better we can adjust.
• He loves the expression that without the darkness at night, we would not be able to see the stars.

“With every strength we have there’s a corresponding weakness, and where there’s a weakness there’s a corresponding strength.”
