#49 Learn How to Be Alone

In this question-and-quote episode of Between The Ears, Arnold Beekes asks: what are your strengths? He encourages you to look beyond physical strengths or the ones that show up at work, since your strength might be that you are extremely good at taking care of your children. He points out that strengths tests, like the ones many of us did at school, only capture a moment, because we are dynamic, not static. The strengths you listed at 15 are different from those at 35 or 65, so he invites you to take an honest look at yours today. The quote is a prelude to the next episode, which is about loneliness after the many questions Arnold has received on the subject: it takes time to learn how to be alone without being lonely, but once you do, it is called freedom.

Ep49 Between the Ears Q&Q - Learn how to be alone
Welcome, I'm Arnold and this is the question and quote version of the Between the Ears podcast. The goal is to enable you to unleash and use your uniqueness. Question, what are your strengths? And don't look only at strengths, well physical strengths or as it relates to your work, but maybe your strength is that you are extremely good in taking care of your children.

And I know this question, there are tests which you can do what your strengths are, there are things that basically at school where you have to do a couple of tests related to your strength. But we are not static human beings, we're dynamic human beings. If you live the life which I say a better life between the ears, you are a dynamic person and you're growing all the time.

And that means the strengths which you had listed at school when you were 15 years young, are different than the strengths when you're 35 or 65. So have an honest perspective about your strengths, what are your strengths? Today's quote is a prelude to the next podcast which is about loneliness because I'm getting a lot of questions around that, how to deal with that. And the quote is, it takes time to learn how to be alone without being lonely, but once you do it's called freedom.

I'm going to repeat, it takes time to learn how to be alone without being lonely, but once you do it's called freedom. And please remember, your spark is only useful if it lights up the room.
