Where Strengths Go Wrong
Understanding The Two Ways They Become Problematic
Positive Psychology has helped us Gain a Better Understanding of How We Perform at Our Best.
As Humans...
We tend to Hit Our Best when We Work in the Areas of Our Strengths.
They are Where We Grow the Fastest.
They are Where We Feel the Best.
They are Where We have the Greatest Impact in Our Skills.
With this...
We have a Tendency to Rely on a Strengths as Often as We are Able when We Know what Our Strengths Are.
They Become Our Default.
But...
There is a Problem that Comes with Our Strengths.
What is the Problem?
We can Begin to Learn Too Much into the Strengths.
What Does that Mean?
Often, it Breaks Down into Two Scenarios.
The First is that We Attempt to Use Our Strengths in Areas where they Do Not Really Work.
We Become So Reliant on the Strength that We Struggle to "Not" Use It.
Think of it like having a Hammer.
If you Need to Strike a Nail into a Board, then a Hammer is a Perfect Tool.
But...
If You are Trying to Install a Window...
A Hammer is Probably Not the Best Tool.
But, Many People will Attempt to Use their Strengths in this Exact Way.
The Second is that Strengths also have Drawbacks.
They Often Make Us Blind to the Reality Around Us.
For Instance...
Some Individuals are Excellent at Caring for Others...
But...
They Push into that Strength So Far that they Fail to Care for Themselves.
It is a Common Contributing Factor to Burnout.
Our Strengths are Wonderful to Have, and We Should Lean Into Them.
And...
We Need to Also Understand How Our Strengths can Impair Our Progress and Make us Blind to Important Aspects of Life.
