You will never lead with confidence if you're still questioning your value. Welcome to message 356 of the Growth Instigators Hotline, where we ignite your personal and professional development. I'm Aaron Havens, your host and growth coach. Mindset Monday Owning your strengths.

Okay, picture this A racehorse and a plow horse are built for two separate things. One was built for speed, the other for strength. Both are powerful, just in different ways. My friends, why do we compare ourselves to others? Here's the one idea I want to land, take root in your heart and in your mind today.

Owning your strengths isn't arrogance, it's accuracy, and if you don't know what you're good at, you'll either try to be everything for everyone or you'll shrink back and play small. Not you today, no way. Here's how to 10x your strengths. First, start by naming your actual strengths. Not the ones you wish you had, but the ones you keep bringing to the table. What do people thank you for? What comes naturally to you that's hard for others? That could be your strength. Not too intense, you're driven. You're not too analytical, you're precise. What, if you're too much quote, unquote is exactly what someone else needs and finally build with them. Design your days, your team role, your conversations around your strengths that actually energize you, you'll bring more value and more joy.

Owning your strengths won't make you self-centered. It'll make you a more grounded, generous, high-impact version of yourself. Do you believe that? I mean seriously? Do you believe in you? Oprah Winfrey puts it this way when you undervalue what you do, the world will undervalue who you are. My friends, it's time to start walking in your strengths.
