I have decided that I am going to attempt to just post on Mondays. That way I read Monday to Sunday and post on Monday. I think this idea will work out for me... or it will make me continue to slack off and I will post on Tuesday (like I am today...whoops!).
What did I learn?
The number one thing I am going to take away is to focus on building on my strengths, instead of making my weaknesses less weak. There is much to glean from this book about living a more authentically happy life but for me I know I can make my life more enjoyable by taking my attention off all the things I am not very good at refocusing on what I am good at. I have gifts and talents that are often neglected because I am trying to make myself better in areas where I suck. For instance I am a terrible small talker, I have come to accept I will always be terrible and instead of trying to be an excellent small talker I am going to be an awesome authentic genuine conversationalist because really that is what I am good at.
Side not if you want to take a test on your strengths (or other random tests to learn about yourself) head on over to www.authentichappiness.org and take the strengths test.
