Upworthy Isn’t In The Movie-Making Business, But Our Community Is

Ever feel that you were being judged based on your looks, instead of who you actually are? Last week, Upworthy curator Carolyn Silveira posted a Kickstarter video about one actor’s struggles with breaking out of stereotypes. With fewer than two days to go, the Kickstarter campaign went viral, and Iyin’s movie got funded thanks to Upworthy’s incredible community. Yesterday, she recorded a heartwarming video for us:
At Upworthy, our mission is to draw massive amounts of attention to topics that matter. We’re thrilled that we were able to help Iyin green-light this important film. We look forward to her updates as it gets made, and being there at the premiere in New York.

Beyond Abilities

Do you know your strengths?  


Knowing your strengths and using them to your advantage will get you farther in a shorter period of time.  Utilizing your strengths will fill you with energy and make you very efficient. 

Ask yourself these questions and write down  your answers:
1.    What am I good at?
2.    What do I enjoy doing?
3.    What are my natural talents and abilities?

Leverage your strengths and work your passion; this will allow you to be at your personal best.  Write your goals around the strengths you already possess.
The key is to continually grow and work on your weaknesses, but do not focus on them.  Don't ever stop improving and enhancing your abilities.
