According to Professor Willibald Ruch of the University of Zurich people who focus on utilizing their strengths in their everyday lives experience more happiness than people who focus their attention on what they think they need to change about themselves. To identify your strong suits Ruch suggests you take a free assessment developed by psychologists called: the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths Survey. This test helps to identify an individual’s strongest qualities, such as creativity or perseverance. So today, take the test and instead of focusing on what you think you can fix about yourself, focus on what is already great about yourself–trust me, there’s plenty!
