At the beginning of this week I announced I was taking part in the Happiness Challenge as part of the lead up to International Day of Happiness. I’d like to share the challenge below:
“We all have faults and weaknesses but we all, also, have strengths and positive attributes. Focusing on the former tends to sap self-esteem and confidence whereas focusing on the latter has been shown to contribute to feeling better about oneself. Your challenge today, therefore, is to write a list of your top three qualities (if you struggle to think of some ask a close friend, relative or trusted work colleague). Think of all the ways you currently use these strengths AND of all the additional ways you could use them in the future.”
Challenge provided by Dr Timothy Sharp (@drhappy) of The Happiness Institute. LINK.
So although it might be blowing my own trumpet, my self assessed list of top three qualities are:
- Authenticity
- Integrity
- Reliability
I encourge everyone reading this to take a moment to think about your top qualities and share them here – time to blow your own trumpet.

Thanks Michelle for making us think of these things. We can love others better when we love ourselves. Mine would be attentive, curious, dependable.

Thanks Michelle,
I would like to think the following three:
Trust, Optimism and Adaptability.
And maybe this is reflected in something I wrote recently here:

Hoping to be travelling in Europe (including Spain) in late May / June and it would be great to catch up with you if you are around.
Take care.
