It's worth working on even if it isn't one of your "Signature" strengths. I chose this as the first strength of the year as I believe it's important to get started on the right energetic foot!

I have dedicated 2026 as a Blue Flame Year. Helping people discover their Blue Flame - a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives - is my Blue Flame for this next year. This decision brought to mind the word prolific, and we explore the roots in this episode. When I thought of the word, I expected different roots... although the actual roots mean the same in essence.
