358. Your Weaknesses Are Probably A Strength

Ah yes, we’re back to my favorite topic or topics: Concepts and themes. who doesn’t love a good concept and theme?

I find this to be quite appropriate coming off of cyclings of behaviors. Why? Because of the inherent elements and value of concepts and theme. Each concept and theme is a holistic existence: It’s full, or total. And in this concept and theme, there’s a negative point, as well as a positive point. It also represents our lives: We go through positive and negative experiences.

Have you ever considered your strengths? Maybe there’s a bit of unknown, or even insecurity there. Perhaps at one point, you perceived it to be a strength, and another point in life, it was somewhat a weakness.

On a personal level, I remember how much I loved public speaking. I was great at it, and I wasn’t the only one who validated this or noticed. I wouldn’t prepare at all for presentations. Granted, this was in my youth, and there wasn’t a whole lot to prepare for, but things came quite naturally to me. As I aged, I started to develop unrelated health issues which made me super insecure. I never knew what was going to “strike” before or during a presentation. I felt so not confident. It was a totally unrelated problem, but affected it so greatly. It ended up impacting my experiences, as well as my performance. I couldn’t believe that this happened. I’m still reeling from all of those anxious moments, and “rebuilding” my craft in these areas.

So what’s the learning lesson here? Just because you have a strength, doesn’t mean that it won’t be challenged in some way as life goes on. And just because you have a weakness, doesn’t mean that you won’t inevitably build it up as a strength. After all… that’s what life is for. We ebb and flow within these concepts and themes.

It’s truly intentional for us to incarnate into a lifetime and experience all that these strengths and weaknesses have to offer. To challenge ourselves to be better.

So how exactly are your weaknesses a strength? Considering that I believe we’ve lived hundreds of thousands of lives in different dimensions, it’s likely that you’ve developed an improvement in a certain area or areas, and you continue to challenge yourself with them. You can determine this if your challenge is at a higher level or caliber in comparison to most people. But don’t get too caught up in comparison. Concepts and themes are unique to each and every person, and depending on our particular life purpose or karma we’re intended to work through in a lifetime, some people may be more apt than others to take on certain challenges. In other words, don’t be so hard on yourself.

So to sum up, your weaknesses are just challenging your already existing strengths. And the more you focus on them and practice them, the no longer they will be weaknesses. Don’t get down on yourself about your weaknesses, as a result. Each and every person has such a different level of circumstances. Some may make it look easy, but it’s because they haven’t lived through the same experiences that you’ve had. Even one singular event could be the butterfly effect of a path someone does or does not go on. A susceptibility, a proclivity, etc.

The wisest thing to do would be to not just determine your strengths and weaknesses, as it can be somewhat challenging to do so, particularly long term. But instead, to simply deduce your repetitive concepts and themes. What are you consistently working on, or working through energetically? As a result, you can then distill applicable strengths and weaknesses. 

Whatever you do, don’t force the case. I do truly believe that our strengths and weaknesses are not just intentional, but somewhat of a compass or a guide in order to bring us to or on the right path. It’s only comparison to others which makes us feel bad about our own strengths, which regardless of our weaknesses, all of us have.
