Manifesting Your Best
- By Sandra Hendricks

What is your greatest strength? Our greatest strength can cause significant heartaches. We all share the same qualities, but there is one predominate quality in each of us. Because our greatest strength causes us so many problems, we try to hide it, rather than allowing it to work for us. What is your greatest gift?
Here are a few of the strengths that can cause us problems:
- Ambition
- Compassion
- Listening
- Motivation
- Persistence
- Thinking
- Tolerance
Looking at the list above, you might wonder, how can any of these qualities cause us problems, and why would we try to hide them. Let’s consider the strength of being a good listener. Being a good listener is a great quality, once it is developed. Suppose we listen and do not speak up when necessary. How about the quality of giving: If we are giving and expect nothing in return, we have developed this gift. If we give and become resentful because our giving is unappreciated, it is working against us.
People with the gift of patience may feel more impatient than most and become convinced that they are not patient. A person who has failed many times may believe that they are not ambitious enough. What appears to be our biggest downfall in life can become our greatest asset. What makes us feel the most inadequate and vulnerable, is often our greatest quality, misunderstood.
Focus on what you want, and then utilize your greatest strength, by developing your best quality. As you develop your predominate quality, you develop lesser qualities, making anything possible!
