This last few weeks, I have the privileged in being enrolled in the Master’s Resiliency Trainer certification course. The materials is based on the Complete Soldiers Fitness program, a program to assist Soldiers and Families to increase resiliencies in five areas: physical, mental, social, family and spiritual. And within this course, we had to answer a survey that determines our Top 5 Character Strengths. My Top 5 were:
- Spirituality, sense of faith and purpose.
- Creativity, ingenuity, and originality.
- Forgiveness and mercy.
- Leadership.
- Appreciation of beauty and excellence (for definition go here).
“Yet, you, LORD, are our Father, We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.”–Isaiah the prophet (in Chapter 64:8)
