Striving Talents…

Striving Talents are contained in the themes utilized to push the self toward results. Talents within these themes motivate a person to get things done, then seek greater accomplishments. Striving talents can easily generate the energy needed to successfully complete even long-term projects, and to quickly move on to the next one. Striving talents are the distinctive motivations that influence individuals to do the same task differently. These themes, called drivers, force people to get up each day and do some thing. Strivers come in all kinds of categories. Some are self-starters, while others require an outside force to motivate them to action. Some live in a state of “compressed urgency”; they are impelled to make things happen ASAP. Thriving in ever-changing environments works for others. Some find their catalyst in a noble cause, a higher calling or a core value. A number of strivers blossom in highly organized, structured or deadline-driven environments, but just as many are single-minded and seldom lose sight of their main goal. Some naturally find people or things that need fixing, updating or renovation. Others move forward because they trust themselves, while a number make progress because people acknowledge their successes, strengths, effectiveness or importance. Striving themes are the fuel that propels people to excel, take risks and set high expectations. Inaction renders them restless.
