“The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.” — Proverbs 14
Proverbs 14 speaks right to my heart. This isn’t just about bricks and mortar (although I’ve hammered my way through a few home projects in my time). It’s about building a life—a beautiful, steady, joy-filled life. Wise choices help us thrive. Foolish ones? Well, let’s just say they keep us on our toes!
Here’s what I know: building a life you love starts with knowing yourself.
What makes you laugh? What fills your cup? What’s your unique gift to the world? That’s where the CliftonStrengths assessment comes in. It’s this magical little tool that helps you uncover your strengths so you can start creating a foundation in three key areas: health, wealth, and love.
Let’s talk about what that looks like at three different stages of life. (And spoiler alert: wherever you are, the possibilities are endless.)
College Seniors: Building Your Foundation from Scratch
Oh, those college years—so full of dreams and ramen noodles. As you step into the next chapter of your life, it can feel both thrilling and overwhelming. There’s this big, wide world out there waiting for you, but let’s not panic. You don’t have to build the Taj Mahal overnight.
Start here:
- What lights you up? (Your CliftonStrengths results can show you the way!)
- What values are non-negotiable for you?
- How can you start creating habits now that set you up for a healthy, wealthy, and love-filled future?
When you know your strengths, you’re not just chasing opportunities; you’re creating them. This is the time to dream big and build small—one strong brick at a time.
26-Year-Olds: Realigning After Life’s Early Lessons
Ah, the mid-20s. It’s like life hands you a grown-up badge and then laughs as you stumble your way through it. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in a job that doesn’t excite you, or maybe the work-life balance thing feels more like a work-work-work thing. Take a breath, my friend. This is your time to hit pause and realign.
Here’s how:
- Revisit your strengths. Are you using them, or are they just sitting there waiting for you?
- Check your habits. Are they helping you build, or are they quietly sabotaging your efforts?
- Find your balance. Health, wealth, and love all need a little TLC to thrive.
Life isn’t about getting it perfect. It’s about learning, growing, and choosing to course-correct when you need to. You’ve got this.
34-Year-Olds: Fine-Tuning for a Changing Life
Your 30s are like a plot twist in your favorite movie—suddenly, everything shifts. Maybe you’ve built a solid career, maybe you’re raising a family, or maybe you’re wondering what’s next. This is the season to fine-tune your foundation, so it keeps growing right along with you.
Ask yourself:
- Are your goals still true to who you are?
- How can you adapt to life’s changes while staying rooted in what matters most?
- Are you creating a legacy of love, wisdom, and possibility?
This is where life gets exciting. You’re not just building anymore; you’re refining, shaping, and adding those little touches that make your life uniquely yours.
Your Foundation, Your Life
Here’s the truth: you don’t have to have it all figured out. At every stage of life, wisdom invites us to pause, reflect, and build with care. When you lean into your strengths and focus on health, wealth, and love, you’re creating a life that’s strong, joyful, and undeniably YOU.
