Do I have any talents? No. Zero! Unless you call being able to name almost any handbags by label and designer, yes, I do have a talent. Albeit, completely useless unless my career path were to lead me into being a professional crime witness involving identifying handbags. I don't think that pays very well.
Or so I thought!
As Eleanor Roosevelt said:
“A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong she is until she’s in hot water”.
When it comes to handling life's big and little situations, you probably have quite a few skills that you don't think twice about. Life sends a challenge your way; you stay strong in the moment, and then figure out which skills are needed to handle it.
Today a colleague pointed out a fact that I have missed. I have been consulted by quite a number of people when they ran into a problem. I realized then I’m pretty good at manipulating potential disasters into personal glories.
So I guess I do have a talent! Even if it’s just the ability to do some quick thinking in order to solve a problem.
In my personal and professional experience, I have passed at least one hot water test.
I bet you have too!
So! What special skills/strengths do you have for handling life's big and little situations?
Welcome to paradise....
