character strengths

Character Strengths

Positive qualities like kindness, courage, honesty, or creativity that help you live in a fuller way.

Details

Character strengths are the good qualities each person naturally carries, such as kindness, curiosity, perseverance, humor, fairness, or bravery. Positive psychology sees these strengths as more than 'nice traits' because they can support resilience, confidence, relationships, and meaning in life. Knowing your strengths can help you use what already works well in you, instead of only focusing on your weaknesses.

💡 Real-Life Example

Someone notices that kindness and perseverance are their strengths, so they lean on those qualities when work gets stressful.
