Unique Design
When looking toward our life calling, we must look at what makes us different or sets us apart from everyone else, what make us unique. Bill Millard says: “Unique design is the most fundamental place to look when seeking to discern the unique nature of this calling as it applies to us as individuals.” Unique Design is comprised of our strengths, passions, and experiences. Physical Strengths is defined in the book as “the capacity of our lives that gives our body distinct features and enables us to perform actions with our body.” When most people hear physical strengths, the initial thought is lifting of weights, but physical strengths are much more than that. In Chapter 6 of the Life Calling book all of the physical strengths are outlined:

Brute Force, Artistry, Music, Mechanics, Craftsmanship, Oratory, Kinesthetics, and Physical Appearance.
Brute Force (Muscular Strength): The muscular ability that enables people to excel at lifting great weights or exerting great pressure
Artistry: Bodily dexterity that enables a person to arrange colors, forms, materials, or other elements in a manner that effects the sense of beauty, specifically the production of beautiful in some sort of manifestation. Music: The use of the body to produce or manipulate sounds and or rhythms.
Mechanics: The use of the body to manipulate physical objects and machinery to accomplish tasks.
Craftsmanship: Bodily dexterity that enables a person to work effectively with the hands or other parts of the boy to create exquisite objects.
Oratory: The use of the spoken voice to produce captivating tones and clear articulation.
Kinesthetics: The coordination and control of bodily positions, weight, muscle, or movement to achieve desired outcomes.
Physical Appearance: The features of a person’s body that we often refer to as good looks.
(Millard 114-6)
Through the Activity Supplement 6.1 and 6.2, I identified where throughout my life these physical strengths have shown through, some more than others. After going through these activities, I have narrowed it down to my three strongest physical strengths: Music, Oratory, and Muscular Strength.
Since a young age I have always been very active in Music, in church and in school. I started Choir at school in 4th grade and musicals at church even younger than that. Still to this day I am in musicals at school, and sing on the worship team at church.
Another strength that I have exhibited since a young age is oratory. Every single report card from elementary school says that I talked too much. This is less true today, but I do use speaking in a more developed manner now. Apart of theatre is speaking, and since freshman year I have been developing how I speak to others so that it is easily understood and the purpose behind what I am saying is being received by the audience. Outside of theater, I speak in my youth group. This is a fairly new development of this strength as God has just in the past year been equipping me to do
so.
The last of my (strong) physical strengths is Muscular Strength. As a child I was not especially know for being strong because I was tall, lanky, and quite clumsy, but some of those things have changed as I have grown. I am still tall, less lanky, and yet still clumsy, although I am fairly strong for female. I would not stand out amongst a group for being the strongest or fastest, but I can do my part.
