Athletes and coaches look hopefully for more opportunities to compete this season. No matter the size of the spectator crowd, they will be ready to play. Early in the season it’s important to remember success breeds success. Gallup research behind Strengthfinders has proven that best results stem from focusing on strengths. While Lent is a time to remove our weaknesses, it is also a time to capitalize on our strengths. Your strengths are given by God to make a positive impact on your areas of influence whether your influence is the person sitting next to you in the living room or populations thousands of miles away in corporate contacts and contracts. Take a moment to reflect on your God-given virtues and talents. You’ve used them for success. Spring in again with those virtues and talents and make Lent a winning season.
