Strengths and weaknesses (well the latter I don't have)

Okay, so maybe I do have weaknesses...humility maybe? haha just kidding. But here are my weaknesses as a leader...
 Stubborn with an ‘I’m right’ attitude
Don’t delegate and give responsibilities
Struggle trusting others, think I can do job better
Too caring and emotional in decision making
Too considerate that can’t please everyone and don’t make the best decision for group
Don’t take risks

Ether 12:27 "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weaknesses that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."

I am a firm believer that all weakenesses can be made strong, thus my strengths are my weakenesses from a different perspective....
    willing to vocalize and share ideas
    compassionate and caring about people
    honest, moral and integrity: trustworthy
    strong character that can lead by example
    kind and considerate
    outgoing, enthusiastic, and sociable
    bring the best out of others
    able to stay calm, level-headed and cool during a crisis
    Humorous: able to revlieve stress
    Maturity

I firmly believe that I was given these strengths for a reason. The reason being my family. As the oldest child of five, I have a great leadership responsibility in my family. Thus, I believe I was given these strengths for them. For example, I am able to always remain calm, no matter the crisis or fight. As a result, I am able to be a peacekeeper amongst the youngins. This is a strength only my dad and I have. Since he is at work during the day while I am at home with the family, it is a blessing that I have this strength. Another strength that I believe I have been blessed is my morals and integrity. I have never felt a need to stray from the gospel standards. As a result, I have been able to be a strong example for my siblings to follow. We each have our own strengths we have been blessed with for a specific reason. Over time, we learn the purpose of each of these strengths and how they bless our lives as well as others.


So what are you weaknesses? & How can they become strengths?
