Ever been asked what makes you tick and found yourself stumped?
Happens to the best of us. But here’s the thing - your strengths are already within you, just waiting for a little spotlight. Introducing the 24 signature strengths, brought to you by Martin Seligman, the godfather of positive psychology (fancy title, right?).
These strengths are what make you, you. They’re the backbone of your resilience, happiness, and ability to keep moving forward. And let’s be real, figuring out what you’re naturally awesome at? That’s a game changer.
We’re starting with the first three virtues: Wisdom, Courage, and Humanity. Yep, you’re about to get seriously empowered.
👩🏫 Lesson of the week
So, why does this matter? Well, we’re all trying to bounce back from something - whether it’s everyday stresses or bigger life challenges.
Knowing and nurturing these strengths can help you build serious mental muscle. They’re like your personal toolkit for staying grounded, positive, and ready to tackle whatever’s next.
Plus, when you know your strengths, it’s easier to play to them, boosting your confidence and keeping you moving in the right direction.
Virtue #1: Wisdom
Wisdom isn’t about spouting off random trivia (although, let’s be honest, we all love a good fact about penguins). It’s about having the experience, knowledge, and perspective to make thoughtful decisions and see the bigger picture.
These strengths help you navigate the world with clarity and creativity, and they’re the foundation for problem-solving like a pro.
Creativity: Whether you're turning a blank canvas into a masterpiece or finding fresh solutions to everyday challenges, your creativity is a superpower.
Curiosity: You ask questions, dig deep, and always want to know more. (It’s that constant “but why?” energy that keeps you growing.)
Judgment: Nope, not about judging people’s outfits. This is about thinking critically, weighing all the options, and making smart choices. You're the one people come to when they need level-headed advice.
Love of Learning: You’re always soaking up knowledge, whether it’s through books, podcasts, or those deep dives into random Wikipedia pages at 2 a.m.
Perspective: Seeing things from all angles and finding the wisdom in every situation. It’s like having a drone view of life’s challenges, but with a human-sized brain to process it all.
Virtue #2: Courage
Courage is all about showing up, even when it’s uncomfortable or scary. It’s not just about running into burning buildings - sometimes, it’s about facing everyday fears and challenges with grit.
Courage helps you push through when things get tough, making it one of the most empowering virtues to master.
Bravery: Speaking up, standing your ground, and stepping into the unknown when it’s easier to stay in your comfort zone.
Perseverance: You know that feeling when things get tough and you just want to quit? Perseverance is what keeps you going, even when the road gets rough.
Honesty: Being true to yourself and others. It’s about saying what needs to be said and living authentically, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Zest: It’s that spark, energy, and enthusiasm you bring to life - living with passion, even in the little things.

Virtue #3: Humanity
Humanity is all about the way we relate to others - it’s kindness, empathy, and that deep understanding of human connection. These strengths help you build stronger, more meaningful relationships, making you not just a great friend or partner but a person who spreads warmth and positivity wherever they go.
Love: It’s more than just romance - love is about genuine care for others, being there for them, and letting them be there for you.
Kindness: Kindness is simple, but it’s powerful. It’s the little acts that make the biggest difference - whether it’s offering a hand or a kind word.
Social Intelligence: This is your ability to understand others’ feelings, emotions, and moods. Basically, it’s being in tune with the people around you.
Here are a few things you can do to refine your strengths:
Creativity: Pick one everyday task and find a new way to do it. Could be as simple as reorganising your workspace or cooking dinner with whatever’s in your fridge - get creative!
Curiosity: Pick a topic you’ve always been curious about and dive into a course or book. It doesn’t have to be work-related, just something that sparks your passion.
Perceptive: When faced with a problem, take a step back and ask yourself, “How would I see this if I wasn’t directly involved?” Shifting your viewpoint helps you gain fresh perspective.
Stamina: Set a small, challenging goal that will test your stamina - like running an extra kilometre or finishing a tough project. Don’t quit until you hit it. Build that resilience muscle!
Zest: Do one thing today with 100% enthusiasm. Whether it’s cooking dinner, writing an email, or dancing in your kitchen—give it your all, and see how it changes the experience.
Kindness: Do one random act of kindness today. It could be as small as holding the door open or as big as helping a friend in need. No matter what it is, it counts.
