Professional athletes—at least the really good ones—know this is what works.

It doesn’t mean they don’t try to improve on those areas that aren’t their strengths; they just don’t focus on them.

Instead, they focus on their core abilities, the ones—or the one—that got them where they are. They don’t bemoan the things they aren’t good at; they celebrate the things in which they excel.

We can all learn from this. Rather than feeling bad about our weaknesses, we should build on our strengths.

In doing so, we feel good. And when we feel good we’re happier—and we perform better.

So Practical SuccessNet Principle #9 is Focus and Build on Your Strengths
