What are the benefits..

Figuring out what your strengths are and finding ways to use them more in your everyday life is a key way to amp up your happiness, wellbeing and success.
Unfortunately, most of us tend to focus more on our weakness than on our strengths.  Instead of trying to use our strengths more, sometimes the focus is on what we aren’t doing well and trying to fix our ‘problems’; for e.g. your parents noticed you received a D in Maths but didn't pay attention to the A you received for English on your report.
It’s can be good to try to improve yourself, but if you only focus on what you don’t do well it can get you down and only gives half the picture of your abilities (and who you are!).

If you know your strengths, and put more emphasis on what you are good at you’ll be more motivated, capable, and up for life challenges.  You’re also more likely to experience flow - that feeling of being at your best, being on a roll - because activities that give you flow are usually those in which you are using some of your top strengths.  The combination of all these things mean that using your strengths boosts your wellbeing, happiness and success.
