Planning helps you to focus on what you want; it helps you to determine ways to take action towards that end. Part of strategic planning is looking at both strengths and limitations. As individuals we need to play to our strengths and Find A Way to work around our limitations. It is a life long process, and we are never done completely.

 

Work on your strengths (your gifts/talents). I once heard someone say we spend a great deal of time working on our limitations (which are important to know and not be denied) and not building on our strengths.  If we work hard at our limitations, we end up with a bunch of mediocre limitations. When we focus on our strengths, we can end up with incredible results.
