Strengths and weaknesses
“The burden is equal to the horse’s strength.”
-- The Talmud
What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses?
If you make a list of the two and study them, you may discover they match.
Life needs us to bring our strengths to the world. To encourage us to do so, we have weaknesses that give rise to problems that require us to call on our strengths to solve them. Ingenious, don’t you think?
“Our weaknesses are divine gifts that when embraced will enable us to make our purposeful contribution to the whole, which is why we incarnated in the first place.”
-- Andrew Schneider
“We acquire the strength we have overcome.”
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
