Strengths vs Weakness Challenge (Confession Time)

I'm hosting the Strength vs Weakness Challenge this month here on ActiveRain.  I am not eligible to participate for points but I thought it would be good for my soul to write a post on the subject anyway.

When I came up with the idea for this challenge and got to thinking about it for my own post, I didn't realize I had so many weaknesses.  I'm having a hard time narrowing it down to just one.  The good news is: I also have many strengths so I guess I've figured out how to make them work for me, or at least minimize the negative consequences of the weak side.  

My greatest strength, I believe is my positive attitude.  Real estate (and life) is full of ups and downs and twists and turns and a positive attitude helps keep the mind clear to be a problem solver.   A positive attitude keeps those negative thoughts at bay.  Negative thinking leads to lots of bad stuff... professionally and personally, emotionally and physically.   I am a good problem solver and the queen of finding silver linings in dark clouds.  

As for the biggest weakness, I'd have to say procrastination.  I never put things off when it came to contracts but I do in many other aspects of business and life.  The good part is, deadlines tend to inspire me.  I get some of my best ideas and become most efficient when I am under pressure to perform.   For some reason, it works for me and for that I am grateful.

Whatever our strengths and weaknesses are, we can control them and make them work in our favor.  If we can't, there is always the option to find a friend to help or hire someone to do what we can't (or won't).

Have you sent in your entry for this challenge yet?  You still have plenty of time but don't put it off til the last day... like I tend to do.  I did all three contest entries last month on the last day!  LOL
