What does all this talk about strengths mean to me as I live my life? Primarily, it means evaluating your life and only do the things you are good at instead of trying to improve the things that are weaknesses. When we improve a strength area, we will see a proportionally greater increase in productivity than if we focus on improving our weaknesses. To improve a weakness, we may feel better about ourselves, but the actual benefit to our work and those around us is minute.

Focusing on our strengths brings more simplicity and stability to our lives. We have fewer things to focus on and the things we focus on are things that we are good at and bring us satisfaction. This makes each day something for us to look forward to.
