But when we focus on our strengths (and I promise everyone has them!), life improves significantly on both personal and professional levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">This is why the most successful people in the world focus on their strengths. They know (and have sometimes learned the hard way) that focusing on their weaknesses will only stop them from reaching their goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Your Life Follows Your Attention<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">You\u2019ve heard me talk about the law of attraction, right? It\u2019s the idea that whatever we focus on grows and expands. Well, what do you think happens when we focus on our weaknesses? That\u2019s right, we find more of them, we then end up with a long list of the ways we\u2019re not good enough, which becomes self-sabotage, which means we\u2019re never going to build the life we want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">On the flip side, if we focus on our <b>strengths<\/b>, we\u2019ll find there are probably more than we realize, and we\u2019ll be empowered to act in ways that make our dreams come true. And when we get reminded of a weakness while in this mode, it\u2019s much easier to shift back to the positive: \u201cOkay, I\u2019m not great at that, but I <i>am<\/i> awesome at all these other things!\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5330\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5330\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5330\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2018\/04\/work-accomplishments-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/work-accomplishments-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/work-accomplishments-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/work-accomplishments-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/work-accomplishments.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>If we focus on our strengths, we\u2019ll be empowered to act in ways that make our dreams come true.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>How The 80\/20 Rule Applies<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">The 80\/20 Rule was created by an Italian economist named Vilfredo Pareto. He realized that in most aspects of life, 20 percent of what we do makes up 80 percent of the results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Of course, it applies to strengths, but how? By using your strengths for that 20% of work, you\u2019ll get 80% closer to achieving your goal. Not only that, you\u2019ll enjoy doing the work way more and everything will happen more quickly and easily, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Trying to do work that involves our weaknesses is like walking into the wind during a horrible storm. It\u2019s slow-going, and we\u2019ll be soaked and chilled to the bone by the time we reach our destination (if we even get there).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">But doing work that uses our strengths? That\u2019s a breeze! It\u2019s like going for a walk on a beautiful spring day where the sun\u2019s shining, and there\u2019s even some wind at our backs gently pushing us forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Now I can\u2019t tell you the specifics of what to focus on for your 20 percent, but I <i>can<\/i> say that bringing your strengths to that effort makes it way more likely to be successful!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5332\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5332\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2018\/04\/8020-rule-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/8020-rule-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/8020-rule-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/8020-rule-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/8020-rule.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5332\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Use your strengths for that 20% of work, and you\u2019ll get 80% closer to achieving your goal.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Aim For A Strength-Based Life<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Marcus Buckingham is an expert on strengths, a renowned speaker, an author of several books, including <i>Now, Discover Your Strengths<\/i>. In that book, he lists 34 different talents (strengths) people can have. I highly recommend checking it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Like me, Marcus believes that we should all focus on what we\u2019re good at and let go of what we\u2019re not. He says strengths can continually be improved upon, but weakness can only get so much better. Have you found that to be true?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Our particular combination of strengths make us unique, and that\u2019s a good thing. I mean, if everyone were great at math but bad at writing, our libraries would be pretty pitiful!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">When it comes to business, I always say to focus on solving people\u2019s problems rather than money. How can you incorporate your strengths into your problem-solving? Answer that, and you\u2019ve found your sweet spot!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5333\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5333\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2018\/04\/strength-life-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/strength-life-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/strength-life-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/strength-life-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/strength-life.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5333\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Focus on what we\u2019re good at and let go of what we\u2019re not.

That\u2019s why I\u2019ve created the following exercise:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"s2\">Make a list of all your strengths\u2014both big and small. Be sure to include actionable skills (fixing a car) and social-emotional traits (staying calm in emergencies).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\">Using the list you\u2019ve created, write a story about a day in which you <i>only <\/i>use your strengths.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\">Journal about how you feel when you\u2019re focusing on and imagining using your strengths.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">This exercise should make you feel pretty good\u2014empowered, excited, optimistic, and more. I do want to give a quick dose of reality, though: the truth is that there will always be some things we\u2019ll have to do that we\u2019re not great at or that we don\u2019t love. That\u2019s just life. All we can do in those moments is accept our weaknesses and try our very best. And yes, that\u2019s good enough. I suggest shooting for using your strengths 75% of the time. If you can hit that, you\u2019re doing pretty great!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Now before I sign off, I want to remind you that your particular set of strengths are what make you awesome \u2014 I\u2019m talking really frickin\u2019 amazing!
