Play to your strengths

The slide where I say the opposite of what I was taught...

• What adults rarely tell you, because they rarely realize it themselves:
• varsity team
• 4.0 gpa
• debate team captain
• & & &...
• = BURNOUT
• Happiness is tied up with seeing yourself as God sees you
• Play to your strengths
• Know your weaknesses
• Practice being "good enough" at what aren't good at
• Get great at what you are good at
• Do what you like to do even if you are awful at it
• Happiness is knowing who you are and being that, not EVERYTHING else besides
• You can SUCK at something and still enjoy it...
  keep doing it because you like it...
  even Baby Peach gets a Mega Mushroom once-in-a-while...
• You can be great at something and hate it (I think this is rarer though)
• You'll be happier if you play to your strengths and live honestly with yourself
• Not a license to not do your chores just because you don't like doing them, but realize that very few people are actually good at taking out the trash
