Week 22 edition 2 comes with another epic and life transforming topic which I personally titled it as self appraisal because it entails sharing my weakness and strength and how I was able to integrate the two.
In life, one of the two things that seems to be at work in human being is weakness and strength when they are identified, it will give a balanced growth and development to such an individual.
These two are always operational and the determinant factor in fulfilling any dream or vision in life. Therefore it's expedient that one evaluates himself to know which of the factors is predominant in order to make adjustments where necessary.
Weakness is not bad but I see it as an opportunity for improvement and growth however when it's looked upon as a negative thing it may require time for it to be overcome. Every strength you see today could be weakness worked upon.
When you work seriously on your areas of weaknesses, it will metamorphose to strength. Similarly if strength is not sustained, it could drop to be weakness some day if you're careless. Therefore identifying either of them without further consistent work may not avail.
One of the weakness I noticed is I sometimes assume things peripheral without a deeper and critical consideration. When I discovered it, I deliberately worked on it by prayer, studying the Bible and taking action into what I received from the Lord. And the scripture also encouraged me that His strength is made perfect in my weakness hmmm since then, I always place my weakness under God and more grace, help is what I have been receiving.
In as much as one has weakness that doesn't mean strength is not there. Permit me to say that the opposite of strength is weakness vice versa. One among many of my strength is marketing/publicity. I have a professional skill in doing that and I have pleasure in sharing my product and services most especially online since the advent of Covid-19. The organisation I worked with before really enjoyed this area of my life and I have been able to increase the performance, profit level of the organisation by bringing clients. Marketing is not just to sell the product but to also sustain the client for a while that has become a good leverage ground for me.
Conclusively, I have been able to harness both my weakness and strength for better performance, high productivity and profitability to my self, family and organisation as well. Therefore self appraisal is pivotal for any self development, organisational development etc. One thing that makes function as human beings is the capacity to evaluate ourselves.
