Transformation — A Process

Weakness to Strength

Recently I published an article about strategies for connecting with your best self. I shared it in several places and one of the most interesting responses offered an observation that I have to admit is true. We tend to shy away from developing weaknesses into strengths in the process of self- or professional development. After consideration at length, and some discussion with others, I’d like to offer the following as part of the process.

Turning weaknesses into strengths comes in the emergence of BEing. BEing is defined here as the acquiescence to inner knowing and outer activity that reflects it. For me, after being instructed on the use of the pause button, it’s a recognition of the point of light at the core of my life, deep within my consciousness and present in my experience as a reflection of moral, ethical and interactive behaviors.

Sense making is a part of that, as well as delightful use of the pause button when triggered by an outer circumstance. The latter is most challenging and even more of a necessity when confronting perceived chaos. In this sense, trust and vulnerability become superpowers. The trust is in the answers and path being revealed as part of universal law and that vulnerability to the experience yields a strength of character that is imperturbable.
