CliftonStrengths® is a powerful tool for a variety of reasons. Most view their Strengths as a way to increase performance and research has demonstrated that it can give advantage to people around the world. One way that is less often utilized is viewing Strengths as a way to filter through the world, as a lens for how we see and interact with our environment.

There is little available on CliftonStrengths as a filter. In order to offer my own perspective on this, I wanted to share how each of your Strengths can work as a lens for your world, how they can help you understand how others see the world differently. Below is your guide to seeing the world through your Strengths and appreciating the ways we all see the world a little differently.

We are all giving unique Strengths that impact how we interact with and think about our lives. Understanding our own filters and bias can help us improve our approach to almost every situation. Going further, it allows us to better understand those who we live and work with, to see and celebrate how they understand the world.

We all have moments where we lack all motivation. Right before writing this post, I was struggling with exactly that. Everything gets more difficult when you don't have motivation.

I talk often about the ways that life purpose can increase your general levels of motivation. This is still absolutely true. But there are still moments, even if you've found the perfect job and know exactly what your purpose is, that we struggle to put in even an inch of effort. 

In these moments, I like to look at a few quotes that remind me of my purpose but also just encourage me to move forward. Here are 15 inspirational quotes that will give you the motivation for work you've been needing. On top of that, I want to give you some added information on how each quote can help you and then a reflection question to get your mind going further.

When we talk about living your best life and getting the most out of every moment, one of the key factors is your mindset. An investment mindset is one where you focus on the future and possibilities, planning your energy and time now in relation to the future. So how do you develop a personal investment mindset?
