Fight from your place of Strength

It is very common to hear most teens say life and their parents, just keep throwing so much at them the same time. From school to home chores, to career choices, to religion, moneymaking, and now social media. the list is endless. If one is not careful, one can get swamped in this that you end up feeling so defeated and stuck even before making your first attempt. So how can you best respond to all the things coming at you at this early stage of self-discovery?

Fight  from your place of strength. Focus on your talents and things you are naturally good at, making sure you are improving on each daily.
Life they say is a fight, so if you must fight, fight from your place of strength.
So, we start with you. Let's see how well you know yourself.
What are you good at? What do you know to be your talents and skills?
Is there something you need little or no effort to deliver on, and that you even enjoy the work involved in the process?
Yes, something that without a doubt, you know when it comes to this, I run the show!
For the Williams sisters, it is lawn tennis; for Tiger Woods, it is golf; for Michael Phelps, it is swimming; for Messi or Ronaldo, it is football; for John C. Maxwell it is leadership training, for Professor Wole Soyinka it is writing; for Zuriel Oduwole, it is interviewing world leaders and advocacy for the girl child education and for you, what is it?
I can't hear you, can you please say it louder, so we are sure you believe in what you just said?
Thank you.
