Think About the Compliments You Ignore. They Tell You What You Are Good At
Knowing your strengths will help you focus on them and use them to your advantage. However, oddly enough, not all of us know what we are good at. One shortcut for figuring this out? Consider the compliments you reject.
If you cannot accept a compliment, then you are not alone. Many of us have a habit of doing this , and here’s the thing: By dropping compliments, we can miss out on our strengths. Career site The Muse puts it this way:
Too often, we forget our strengths. When you’re doing something reflexively good, it’s easy to overlook it. Keep your ears open for compliments that you usually ignore, not out of modesty, but because the thing seems as natural as breathing … Don’t think that just because something comes easy or seems obvious to you, it not uncommon and valuable to anyone else.
