PLAYING TO OUR STRENGTHS<br />
IN THE NEW YEAR<br />
Each of us has a natural reservoir of strengths within us; like the muscles in our bodies,<br />
some are innately strong, others need conscious work. As we enter into the new year together,<br />
which strengths do you want to play up? What are the qualities that you would<br />
like to “dial up” in order to live a happier, easier, and more meaningful life?<br />
HOPE<br />
Living with a sense of optimism;<br />
looking toward the future with positivity;<br />
believing things will be better.<br />
LOVE OF LEARNING<br />

about situations and people, looking<br />
beyond your own world<br />
