As I previously mentioned, one of my top 5 strengths is woo. In Strengths Finder 2.0 the author Tom Rath states, “Woo stands for winning others over. You enjoy the challenge of meeting new people and getting them to like you.” That statement is so true for me. I want to be likeable. I desire to get along with everyone. I continued reading that chapter, and realized something that I had never been really comfortable with about myself. I have my best friends, a small close group of people I know I can always rely on, past that I have acquaintances. These are people that I have met through life's journey, I usually refer to them as my friends, but the relationship never ventures out past a coffee or lunch date. I am beginning to realize, I am okay with that.
Sunday night I went out with some of my closest friends. This group included my amazing boyfriend Tyler, my childhood best friend Kaylee, and my two newest friends that have been blessing my life, Matt and Makenzie. We had so much laughing, talking, taking pictures, and just enjoying each others company. I am so incredibly blessed that these people, who didn't know each other this time last year, have come to know and love each other just as I have come to know and love them. After dinner I realized, that woo truely is one of my strengths. So what if I don't have 600 friends...okay so on facebook I am getting close to that, but as I said most of those are people I have met on my journeys. I am determined to use my woo to it's complete advantage!
