Discover Yourself

When my husband gifted me a Samsung galaxy tab last year, I shouted at him and said that he is wasting money and that there is no requirement for a tab. My son also added fuel to the fire by saying, “Ma doesn’t even use her smart phone that you gave her two years expect for receiving calls. She is happy with her old mobile. She doesn’t even know all the features. So it is better, I use the tab.” While the tab was taken away by my son and I was still fiddling with my mobile, I realized that probably I was doing the same thing with my own being. I realized that I treat myself the same way as I treat any new electronic gazettes and I don’t make full use of my inner strengths. Thus with this incident I began my journey of discovering and identifying my inner strengths. Now think of the times when you feel more energized and full of josh. What are the qualities or strengths you exhibit during those times?
