The Universe does it again...

Strengths Finder 2.0 is a book written by Tom Rath; where you take a quiz online and it 'calculates' your top 5 strengths (out of 34).It is a good book, and is uncannily right one target,  when you read your results and it sounds exactly like you. Almost scary...almost. 

My Top 5 Are:
  1. Developer
  2. Empathy
  3. Includer
  4. Positivity
  5. Context
All of these basically mean that I "feel complete" by:

  1. Helping others to  find their potential and encouraging them to grow.
  2. Helping individuals voice unvoiced emotions/feelings, and by innately understanding.
  3. Expanding the circle, and encouraging all inclusiveness...
  4. Being lighthearted and bringing enthusiasm wherever I go 
and last but not least...
     5.  Learning from the past as a means to understanding the future. 

Also given are 'Action Points', or ways to strengthen your strengths. The purpose being to improve yourself through positive as opposed  pointing out what you don't have (and may never be good at) and forcing you to build upon those. 
Almost all of my action points encourage taking a mentor or teaching position. Well, the universe must be trying to tell me something, for I meet with the Dean of the World Medicine Institute ( A Daoist philosophy, Classical Chinese Medicine School) on Monday to discuss the Anatomy and Physiology teaching position open next semester! We shall see what the Universe has in store, but I am super excited to find out!
