We all know that the character of any of us is a set of our positive and negative qualities and abilities. Strengths are the special characteristics of a personality, its positive qualities, thanks to which it is possible to achieve professional success, cope with difficulties, and go towards the intended goals.

Many people go through their lives without knowing their advantageous features. Their life, as a rule, is mediocre, no different from the lives of others.

Successful people build their own lives, using their talents and characteristics. In this scenario, a person feels like the author of his life, because he plays, in fact, with his strongest qualities. Weaknesses they just try to keep under control.

How to identify strengths of character?

Pay attention to and analyze life events and your behavior, and track how you feel at key and stressful moments.

Criteria for determining strengths:

• The practical application of these qualities gives the feeling that life is lived correctly, according to the laws of morality. This feeling is inherent not only to the person himself, but also to the people around him.
• These qualities are valuable in society, although they are not always objectively positive.
• Using these qualities, the individual does not humiliate or offend others. On the contrary, his actions cause others pride and admiration.
