Often in life we are faced with scenarios where people expect us to do better or become more than what we currently are or perceive ourselves to be.
The situations under which others expect things from us are invariably situations where the expectations are a result of others seeing some sort of potential in us, or where others require us to do more due to the potential benefit from it. The danger here lies in the fact that, should you not be able to also identify with the apparent potential within yourself, you will either feel pressured, stupid or just not that into it.
There exists a common misconception that you will become good by trying to be good … The problem herein is not the fact that you want to become good, but the fact that you are trying to be something which you already are. Understanding the true power that lies in understanding yourself, thus your body, your mind and your soul, is pivotal to unlocking the potential you already have.
Do not doubt yourself for you are more than enough. You are good enough. Should nobody out there tell you that, this blog is your affirmation that you are good enough to achieve whatever you want to in life. Life is too short for you to paralyse yourself with doubts.
To assist you in activating your potential, here are five ideas which will clear your doubts, build your confidence and reveal the undeveloped potential within you:
- Deliberately choose to pursue personal growth
- Start with establishing a concrete goal
- Learning something new takes time, accept that
- Celebrate success, list those little victories
- Determine your own target and keep challenging yourself.
Today marks your first success, jot it down: You have chosen to make positive changes by choosing to pursue personal growth, setting a goal to achieve it and marking it down. It doesn’t matter how slowly we go, as long as we keep going.
