And sometimes that is to take charge, and sometimes it's to take out the trash." "The differentiator is the level of care and concern people have for each other." "Certainty is not ours to provide — but clarity is." "Lifelong learning is the only path to more influence, impact, and opportunity." "If you're not pursuing something, you're not leading." "You don't want to call them out--you want to call them up." "It's not just about personal excellence--it's about making others better." "It's not about grand gestures.

Because I get my Feldenkrais liability insurance through a massage therapy umbrella, they send me Massage Therapy Journal, which I read, even though I am not a massage therapist. I figure I might learn something. What the heck? In the issue I just finished, they talked a lot about how to avoid burnout and take care of one's self at work. Much of the content involved identifying one's top strengths and leaning into them. Now, about a decade ago, I got really into the Strengths Movement which was focused on a similar idea. I thought it was interesting for both work and education. I identified stuff I was good at and figured out how to lean in to those things. Then I promptly forgot about it and now I can't even tell you what I determined my strengths were back then. The burnout article suggested using the VIA strength finder to determine your top five strengths and values. This sounded familiar to me. I thought I probably had taken this test before so I searched for it on my computer. Yes, yes, I had – about a year ago. And I found that my top five strengths were: Humor, Perceptiveness, Creativity, Social Intelligence and Love of Learning.

"They go from strength to strength." Ps84:7 NIVThe phrase "discover your strengths" was made famous by researcher Marcus Buckingham in what's referred to as the"Strengths Movement." It calls us to stop focusing on our weaknesses and name and develop our strengths-which reflects God's design. God didn't say, "Moses, your craftsmanship skills are weak. Let's have you stop leading this people for a while and try to become more like Bezalel." (See Ex 31:1-5).The Bible speaks of going "from strength to strength." And a strength is an activity which when you engage in it, makes you feel strong.Certain activities will thrill and challenge you; others will bore and drain you. Once you discover this, you're not simply engaged in"career planning," you're acknowledgingGod's handiwork and your own core strengths. It matters that you do this, because the single little patch of creation you're responsible for stewarding is your own life. Dorothy Sayers said: "Work is not, primarily, a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do. It is, or it should be, the full expression of the worker's faculties, the thing in which he finds spiritual, mental and bodily satisfaction, and the medium in which he offers himself to God." What if your job doesn't fulfill your need for purpose or utilize your God-given gifts? Sometimes necessity requires that. That's why the Bible says,"Whatever you do, do well" (Ecc 9:10 NLT). In the meantime, pray for opportunity, prepare yourself, and volunteer in an area that utilizes your strengths. Sometimes people who don't enjoy the work they do are miserable, and they make everybody around them miserable too. But God expects better from you!Support the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!
