Goals

1. This year I want to grow closer to God. In one way inparticular I want to be able to be content in the silence and be thankful for it.

2. Another goal I have set for myself is to make good friends with a solid group of people. I want this group to be comfortable with each other and completely honest with me, even if I don't want to hear it.

3. As for my final goal for this year, I want to push myself to open up to others, as they do to me. I am a good listener and people will go to me when they need to talk, vent, or want advice. It is ironic that I have such a hard time opening up.

-Applying My Strengths-

The easiest goal for me to see how my strengths would apply is the second one. Being a developer, I am drawn to people. I love to help people reach their potentials and beyond. It excites me to see people succeed. Using connectedness; I am good at finding things I have in common with the most random people. This is a great way that I use to start relationships- simply by talking about things we have in common. Since I am also restorative, I love to bring things back to life. I am not afraid of being honest so that I can be more than just on the surface friends with people. Individualization is very important also. I observe people's strengths and I draw out the best in them. With my strong sense of belief I will be able to surround myself with others who have the same ideals. It is important for me to be able to have conversations with depth about my faith.
