Life Skills

Life skills has become a common term that refers to the skills one needs to make the most out of life. These skills help us to manage the demands of life and to reach our full potential. While there are some differences in what some consider essential life skills, here are four categories that seem to encompass the basics of necessary life skills.

Self-awareness is a key life skill. Without it, we fail to manage ourselves well, we may come off as socially awkward, and we probably will leave behind a trail of damaged relationships. The ancient admonition to know yourself still applies today.

Strong character is another vital life skill. The importance of values and ethics cannot be overstated. Without a firm moral compass we are sure to find an unwelcome supply of troubles.

Strength discovery helps us find value and purpose. Realistic assessment helps us to identify our gifts and talents. Without this feedback and experience, we find frustration and continual dissatisfaction.

Leadership ability has never been more sought after. Leadership skills have become a must have in today's world. Not so much holding a position of leadership, but more so carrying a perspective and a mindset of leadership.

Life skills such as reflective thinking, problem solving, and interpersonal ability set us apart from the pack and help prepare us to overcome challenges. That's what Empower NBCA School of Ministry is all about. Finding, following, and fulfilling the plan of God for our lives.
