We all have personal qualities, but only very few of us are aware of theirs. With personal qualities I\u2019m referring our talents, our skills, our expertise and our social character - our capabilities to bring value to our environment.<\/p>\n
At the time I\u2019m writing this I\u2019m on a vacation, taking a step back from daily business and aligning my plans for the future. This is where I became aware of a paradox that I like to call the Personal Qualities Paradox.<\/p>\n
As I\u2019m thinking through what I\u2019ve accomplished so far and what projects I\u2019m going to tackle in the next months, my thoughts drifted towards implementing my personal qualities in my everyday routines. I want to focus on what I\u2019m good at and let others help me with topics that aren\u2019t my strengths.<\/p>\n
Since this requires knowing my personal qualities<\/a>, I\u2019m writing this post. It took me months to uncover my natural talents, my personal qualities that can be marketed to people in order to make a living.<\/p>\n When I started my first business in April 2012, I had no idea about my personal qualities - and today I get numerous emails from people in a similar situation.<\/p>\n I really appreciate that you\u2019re following my journey in online business and asking me for advice. That\u2019s why I decided not only to respond to every email I get, but to share the answers publicly.<\/p>\n And I think that personal qualities paradox is a great topic to start with.<\/p>\n Your personal qualities are your foundation for confidence and self esteem. It\u2019s your skills, your abilities, your expertise, your experiences and your opinion that allow you to interact with others on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n Those factors control whether people respect and pay attention to you, because you\u2019re sharing information of value for others - or whether people ignore you, because all you can add to the discussion is nonsense.<\/p>\n In order to have a high self esteem, society tells us to work on our \u201eweaknesses\u201c instead of embracing our personal qualities. We\u2019re told to learn about things we\u2019re below average, just to acquire mediocre skills that everyone else has too.<\/p>\n What if we instead empower those personal qualities we already have?<\/em><\/p>\n In the fields were we can use our natural talents and personal qualities, we\u2019ll see much bigger results than others.<\/p>\n In those areas we\u2019ll stand out of the masses, which isn\u2019t often seen positively.<\/p>\n \u201cThe nail that sticks out gets hammered down.\u201d - Japanese saying<\/p><\/blockquote>\n We want to achieve goals that are way above the average of our society. We want to earn more money, drive bigger cars, have more free time, travel around the world, and lots of other goals that most people in our society won\u2019t ever achieve.<\/p>\n And still we\u2019re scared to stand out of the masses by using our natural talents<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is a paradox situation.<\/p>\n We want to have a lifestyle that\u2019s better than the mediocre lifestyle of our society, but we\u2019re scared to take more action than people living the mediocre lifestyle.<\/p>\n But what is it that makes us scared?<\/p>\n Using our natural talents and personal qualities allows us to take actions that others won\u2019t ever take. Thus those people tend to pull us down because we\u2019re showing them what they are missing. Instead they should be happy for us when we\u2019re achieving a goal because we\u2019ve taken a risk.<\/p>\n There are several wrong believes in our society that prevent us from embracing our personal qualities - yet we should.<\/p>\n \u201eYou cannot be anything you want to be - but you can be a lot more of who you already are.\u201c - Tom Rath<\/p><\/blockquote>\n It\u2019s time for us to uncover our personal qualities and to use them!<\/p>\n It\u2019s time to start focusing on our strengths and to integrate them in our daily lives!<\/p>\n It\u2019s time to build our dreams instead of working for someone else and building his dream!<\/p>\n You can see in my income reports<\/a> how I change my life by using my personal qualities to make an income online. Those reports are 100% transparent because I want you to achieve the same freedom I\u2019m experiencing right now.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not any better or smarter than you and I also started not knowing what I was doing. The trick is to get started and to learn on the way.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re leveraging your personal qualities you can achieve goals faster than people lacking those qualities. It\u2019s just about finding your personal qualities and leveraging those in the best possible way!<\/p>\n I hope this post opened your eyes and explained why you shouldn't let the personal qualities paradox take control about embracing your personal qualities! You are good enough with who you already are to achieve the goals you're aiming at!<\/p>\n photo credit: will ockenden<\/a> via photopin<\/a> cc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We all have personal qualities, but only very few of us are aware of theirs.
