Developing My Strengths

Hello again, in this blog I am going to talk about how my strengths can hinder me and also how I plan to build on my strengths while I am at APU.
My first strength is context. This strength is about looking to the past to figure out about the future. This strength can hinder me in the way that I can tend to dwell on the past and not move forward. I get stuck in the what ifs. I can develop this strength more while I am at APU by looking at past academic choices and using them to help me in future choices while I am at APU, while remembering not to dwell on the past.
My second strength is harmony. This strength is about treating people with kindness and also avoiding conflict. I believe that this strength can be harmful in the way that I don't like conflict and therefore will not stand up for things and be some what aggressive when I need to be and remember that you can't make everyone happy and there will be some conflict in life. I think that I can build on this strength by remembering to stand up for things and nit to worry about people getting angry.
My third strength is discipline. This strength means that I like structure and routines. I think that this strength can hinder me in the way that because I really like structure and I follow routines, I can get stuck in certain routines and stay there and not but myself out there because I am comfortable. I can expand on this strength while I am at APU by trying to get out of my everyday routines, but while still keeping the discipline that I have towards academics.
My fourth strength is consistency. This strength means that I like fairness and believe that everything should be fair, and also follow the rules. I think that this strength can hinder me in the way that since I believe that everything should be fair, I sometimes forget that the world isn't always fair. I think that I can build on this strength by remembering that life isn't always fair and just doing my best while I am here and remembering that my hard work will be recognized somewhere down the line and not to give up.
My fifth strength is competition. This strength deals with me measuring my progress by others progress. I think that this strength can be harmful in the way that, I can be to competitive even to the point where I can hurt some one's feelings or puss people away. I can build on this strength by learning to be a little less competitive and notice that there is a time to be competitive and a time not to be.
