GET A HANDLE ON YOUR STRENGTH

But truly I [Micah] am full of power, of the Spirit of the Lord, and of justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin. -  Micah 3:8

Self-discovery is highly essential to making a distinguishing milestone within your area of competences. Hence, it is of huge importance to understand and know your area of strength. You cannot be highly effective if you strive to make a mark outside your area of competences. If you are frequently being assigned to undertake task outside your strength zone, those tasks may take the starch out of you and get you easily drained. Therefore, understanding your strength zone will help you to channel your effort and skill appropriately in order to maximize your potential and deliver top notch results.

If you have your finger in every pie without proper understanding of the task you can handle hands down, you may struggle under the enormity of the tasks jobbed out to you. Before you get your hands dirty, determine the tasks that can be completed without much difficulty based on your competences. You may decide to check with a colleague who may probably be two jumps ahead of you in view of the competence required to prosecute a project or task. Of course, getting a handle on your strength helps you to know when to look outwards to seek help in area where your skill is a cut below the requirement of the tasks assigned to you.

Your ability to get a handle on your strength zone helps you to prioritize your tasks and manage your time effectively. People who deliver great results by firing on all cylinders usually stay within their strength zone. They would rather prioritize the tasks on their schedule based on their competences without dispensing with the urgency and importance of delivering their work output on schedule. Hence, I pray the Lord open your eyes of understanding to discover your strength zone and enable you to channel your time and effort appropriately for maximum impact in Jesus name.
