Adaptability

People who are especially talented in the Adaptability theme prefer to “go with the flow.” They tend to be “now” people who take things as they come and discover the future one day at a time.

Your Personalized Strengths Insights

What makes you stand out?

Driven by your talents, you:

• Do your best work when you are allowed to deal with the day’s challenges as they arise. Other people need a well-defined plan of action and definite goals for each day. In your case, however, such specificity might be counterproductive. By nature, you effortlessly adjust to the shifting challenges of the day.

• You enjoy variety and change. You are comfortable allowing each day to unfold on its own terms.

• You feel little stress when predetermined timelines must be scrapped.

• You probably regard rigidly organized plans and routines as barriers rather than helpful tools. It’s very likely that you allow your life to unfold naturally.

• You trust you will find your path as it evolves.

• You resist being tied to predetermined plans and standardized systems.

• You prefer to experience life in the moment. You are eager to see where it takes you.

Because of your strengths, you make plans as you move into and through your day. Not being bound to a strict timeline or action plan frees you to deal with problems or take advantage of opportunities at the moment they arise. Instinctively, you try to think about the present and enjoy the moment. You may have a heightened sense of the impermanence of each moment — that is, its inability to last forever. You might struggle to deal with people who are rooted in the past, those who can see only the future, or those who are caught up in the stresses of the day. You might tire of individuals who are constantly busy or moving so fast they fail to enjoy their lives minute by wondrous minute.
