In the process, it was found that he is simply a kid who needs more physical exercise than he was getting in school and at home. It was not easy, but the school and the parents found ways for him to get more play time outside and more time when he is unplugged from any technical devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.455), 18px);\">This story led me to think about people in general:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.455), 18px);\">&#8211; <strong>Are we living our lives playing to our strengths or are we just playing along with the structures we find ourselves in?<\/strong><br>&#8211; <strong>How can we create the lives that make it possible for us to use our strengths and flourish?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What it means in the Business World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.455), 18px);\">This is of course only part of the picture. As professionals, we have to be realistic: It is not always possible to use our strengths (or is it?), to embrace our weaknesses (have you heard the term \u201cown your weaknesses\u201d?), and to know your growth areas. As a person working with other people, you can also play to their strengths (how exciting!), and of course, we are well advised to stretch to form new strengths, and develop an authentic, informed, and confident awareness around the whole topic. In summary: To be who we are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Something to Try<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.455), 18px);\">In my <em><a href=\"https:\/\/creeksideinspirations.ca\/de\/nature-quest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Naturverbundenes Leben Aufsp\u00fcren<\/a><\/em> you will discover and work in a very comprehensive way with your strengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/creeksideinspirations.ca\/de\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kontaktieren Sie mich<br>for More Information<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"605\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/creeksideinspirations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/221202-Strength-Dustin-Humes-unsplash-small.jpg?resize=605%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"alt=&quot;black and white photo of a lion&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-3903\" style=\"width:303px;height:512px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/creeksideinspirations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/221202-Strength-Dustin-Humes-unsplash-small.jpg?resize=605%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 605w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/creeksideinspirations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/221202-Strength-Dustin-Humes-unsplash-small.jpg?resize=177%2C300&amp;ssl=1 177w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/creeksideinspirations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/221202-Strength-Dustin-Humes-unsplash-small.jpg?resize=768%2C1299&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/creeksideinspirations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/221202-Strength-Dustin-Humes-unsplash-small.jpg?resize=908%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 908w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/creeksideinspirations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/221202-Strength-Dustin-Humes-unsplash-small.jpg?resize=7%2C12&amp;ssl=1 7w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/creeksideinspirations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/221202-Strength-Dustin-Humes-unsplash-small.jpg?w=1113&amp;ssl=1 1113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Photo by Dustin Humes, Unsplash 2022)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw -
