My Strengths and What They Mean to Me

This afternoon, I completed the Strengthsfinder 2.0 Survey at www.strengthsfinder.com. The report listed my top five strengths as:
1. Connectedness
2. Relator (sp? Relater?)
3. Woo
4. Activator
5. Futuristic
This is my second time doing this survey (last time it wasn't the 2.0 version). I don't remember exactly what the results were before, I do recall woo factoring in the equation. With the exception of being futuristic, I can see the connection between each of the themes. I accept,own and identify with them.
I even agree with futuristic. I have a vision of how things could be and I know I tend to look at things from a point of view of how they could be better and what we can do now to bring the vision of a brighter tomorrow into fruition.
In many ways, these results tell me I am on path, and perhaps one day I can openly admit that my deepest desire is to is to inspire others to be a part of a brighter tomorrow for us all. It sounds corny, and maybe a bit pretentious whenever I think about saying it out loud, so I keep it to myself. Oh, I just said it here, huh? Well, how many people will actually take the time to read this far?
Now that I have done this survey, I wonder how I can use this information to build on my strengths. I guess I need to read the rest of the report.
