Strengths
Strengths are “qualities or features that bring power, force, vigor, or sustenance” (Millard 126). Simply, Strengths are what I am good at. I often wonder, for what are my strengths good. Paul, writing to Timothy, says, “But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it” (New International Version, 2 Timothy 4.17). My strengths, however odd or useless they might seem, are to be used to honor The Alpha and Omega.
I talk about my strengths because it curses me to talk about my weaknesses. When I focus on my weaknesses, they weigh me down. I should not look at my shortfalls, but at my strengths. My faults, no matter how grand, cannot compare to the Strength I possess, given to me by the Sovereign Lord, to serve Him.
I am skilled at many things Spiritually, Psychologically, Emotionally, Physically, and Intellectually (Millard 130). These Domains interact with each other markedly. Like baking a pie, an ingredient left out makes merely distasteful mush. Imagining someone who isolates these fields from each other is imagining a patient taken mentally ill. Society has insane asylums for these types of people.
The five Strength Domains have four Dimensions to them. There are things with which one is born, things one has learned, and things one must practice (Millard 131). These three dimensions describe how an ability is acquired. The fourth Dimension describes how one feels toward the Domain (Millard 131). A person could be a fantastic basketball player, but find basketball comparable to putting a round peg in a round hole, like Augustus Waters in The Fault In Our Stars (Green 30).

It is only in the Deep South of this country that I find this black culture. I have to keep my eyes upon the truth: they are God’s children too.

In the research article that I’m presenting is the aspect of strength and conditions coaches (SCC) have been overseen by strength training sessions in the field of being a strength and condition coach. They have priorities to maximize their athletes athletic performance and decrease their injury rate.

In my paper regarding strength assessments from the Rath’s Strengths Finder 2.00 (Rath) I learned how it can improve the development of my leadership. About a year ago I took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment (The Myers & Briggs Foundation); I was identified as an ENTJ and ENFJ (split personality). I recently took another assessment detailing with my style (Style Analysis). The strength finder 2.0 assessment defined my top five leadership strengths; the Myers Briggs defined my personality;
kinesthetic methods. These are the main learning techniques but to understand that all people use these methods the learning styles to help them individually to find out what are their strength and weaknesses in those areas. For an adolescent they could gain this knowledge to help them learn; they could access their strengths and work on their weaknesses. In secondary education, students might have preferred ways of learning. There are some teachers that do help students learn by changing their lesson
Beowulf wants to prove his strength to the people, and he wants fame, while he is away fighting with Grendel. He shows everyone, including the Queen his strength. While she praises him for defeating Grendel, she also ask him to remember the rights that her sons have while living in the Danish kingdom. “Be acclaimed for strength, for kindly guidance to these two boys, and your bounty will be sure.”( Anonymous 1219-1220). Grendel also has some intrinsic motivations. For example, Grendel hated when

Smaug is hiding . Throughout their journey they encounter many life-hindering experiences. Dangers and obstacles pop up everywhere. The reason why this group goes to such great lengths to get their treasure is because of one reason, which is their motivation of lust. Lust created the conflict in this story. The conflict is the most important literary element because it directly affects everyone in the story. There are many conflicts, but the main one is between the dwarves and their lust for their
camps during World War II. Throughout the narrative, the significance of companionship emerges as a crucial factor in Eliezer's survival. Despite the unimaginable horrors he faces, Eliezer's bond with his father becomes a source of strength, offering him support, motivation, and a reason to persevere amidst the atrocities of the camps. Eliezer's father provides him with emotional support and a sense of connection amidst the dehumanizing environment of the camps. In moments of despair and anguish, Eliezer
epic heroes. One of the significant illustration that both Beowulf and The 13th Warriors show is the importance of strength in battles. Both Beowulf and the 13th warrior present multiple physical strength throughout their battles. Beowulf is known to be the strongest of all men. He had fought battles and won every one of them. What’s more fascinating about Beowulf 's physical strength is that some of the battles he
Basic Perspectives on Motivation: Evaluating Three Perspectives for Understanding Sleep and Sleep Deprivation in Australian Adults Motivation, to start with is the forward motion to behaviour (Burton, Westen & Kowalski, 2015). “Over 1.2 million Australians experience sleep disorder” (Burton et al, 2015), sleep deprivation is the deliberate prevention of sleep (APA college dictionary of psychology, 2009). Symptoms include “insomnia, inability to deal with stress and ill health” (Burton et al.). The
Educational Self-Analysis How I relate to “brainology” from Carol Dweck. My educational experience has been kindergarten-fifth grade in Terra Bella Elementary School. Sixth-eighth grade in Carl Smith Middle School. Ninth-twelve grade in Porterville High School. There was times where I enjoyed going to school, but then I had no interest. I had difficulty learning about a subject most of the time, but what I did was ask a teacher for help. In “brainology” Dweck talks about the two different mindsets
evaluate emotions in yourself and others around you. The key principles of emotional intelligence are self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Self-awareness is the ability to recognize personal emotions, emotional triggers, and limitations. Self-regulation is the ability to manage emotions so they do not have a negative effect. Motivation is the inner drive that comes from the personal joy experienced after an accomplishment. Empathy is the ability to recognize, understand
“My strength did not come from lifting weights. My strength came from lifting myself up when I was knocked down,”-Bob Moore. This quote demonstrates that people gain emotional strength from fighting through adverse experiences. This concept is shown in the texts “ The Story of Green-Blanket Feet”, an excerpt from Spider Woman's Granddaughter by Humishima, and the text Mary Rowlandson, an excerpt from “From a Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson.” Both women go through
able to accept others no matter how different. My motivation and needs, personal history, and strengths have led me to the field of human services. One aspect that led me to pursue a career in human services is my motivation to succeed. One of my top five strengths that align with success is being an achiever. Rath describes achiever as, “You have a internal fire burning inside of you. It pushes you to do more, to achieve more” (pg.37). My motivation to succeed has been inside me since I was a young

Pursuing a graduate degree is difficult, even under the best circumstances. It was a long arduous road to discover a university that would meet my needs. Juggling my multiple responsibilities of home, work, family, and now school will require motivation. I am a student first and learning is my favorite place
type of results I would get. I expected to do well. However, I did not realize how much this exercise would outline the various aspects of my life. I didn’t expect my life to be revolutionized by a wheel. Nevertheless, it has. There were ten (10) components to the discovery wheel which individually showed my strengths and weakness in a particular area: motivation, purpose, time, reading, notes, tests, thinking, communicating, diversity and money. However, when combined together, the wheel showed how
