The very first step would be to identify them. This process is very complex and invariably would take time. Explore your strengths first:

  • Are you outspoken
  • Are you fearless
  • Do you have a forbearing approach

Some questions which might help you in figuring out your strengths. Everyone has some strengths and some weaknesses in them. If we are aware of them we can easily win in our lives.

First why strengths and weaknesses are so important

Winning in our lives is the most important factor. If we do not win in our lives it is meaningless. Whatever we do should be an effort to win in life. To win we must know our strengths. So as to employ them whenever required. They are like the trump cards that you have. It is like a tournament. You play in a team to reach the quarters, the semis, and finals and battle it out in the end to win the tournament and be known as the Champions. Nothing short of that will let you be known as the champions. But not everyone can be a champion. It is just that one team!

But yes ironically life is also about losing some matches as well. You need to plan carefully how to create and implement a strategy to win with not just your strengths and weaknesses in mind but also your opponents’.

Improve on your strengths

Well once you have identified the strengths the job is half done. Now you have to see how to implement these in a real-life scenario. Say you are outspoken and you can convince well then you must consider management, law, politics, etc.

as your career. Or if you find yourself good at arts or sports or you are physically and mentally fit to join the military then as per your strengths follow your insights and polish your strengths by practicing them day in and day out. Always remember that it is your strengths that is going to count in your victory so — Be the Best.

Weaknesses can be really worrisome. It can really spoil your day. You must be honest with yourself and find out your weaknesses too. It’s like — I don’t know how to swim so I won’t go in a swimming pool, until, I learn to swim properly or else I will drown — that kind of a thing. You must identify your weaknesses and work on them to minimize them at all costs. If you stammer (say for example) then you must improve by taking proper steps to reduce stammering so that you can be understood better. There could be a huge list ..apply your wisdom and work out your weaknesses and if possible remove them completely. Apply willpower from the innermost core of your heart to do so.

Conclusion

To win you must plan. Plan to succeed in life, and yes, do have a Plan B. Know your strengths and weaknesses, work on them and spearhead in life with all your might. You got to keep trying until you make it through. It is that simple.
