I feel privileged to reveal
to you the whereabouts of this key and I hope you’ll pick it up right away and
release your potential to freedom.
Ladies and gentlemen, the
famed, all important key is, ‘your everyday choices’.
Yes, you heard right,
your choices.
You may be wondering,
“but I make choices everyday and my potential still lies undiscovered or
underutilized?” I agree with you, at least majority of the human population
make choices everyday, otherwise every corner of the universe would be littered
with zombies. So then where is the disconnect? Life is a product of the choices
we make and so, as far as unlocking your full potential is concerned chances
are you’ve been making wrong choices hence the snag.
So what kind of choices
am I talking about?
To start witnessing blooming
of your potential, you need to start making progressive & goal oriented
choices.
What
does progressive & goal oriented choices mean?
Future is always a
product of present, right? In other words, your present actions mold your
future. A goal is the end product of dedicated activities carried out with the
aim of achieving it. So it is right to say, the ‘dedicated activities’ happen
in the present while the end product is found in future. Therefore,
'progressive & goal oriented choices' means, making strategic choices that
will earn you the future you want.
What
constitutes progressive & goal oriented choices?
Remember I started by
saying the key to your potential is formed by mixing together a number of
ingredients. Now, let’s find out what these ingredients are;
Ingredients
for progressive & goal oriented choices
(P&GOC)
1. Knowledge – of your potential and steps
required to link it with success.
Knowledge of your
potential – a quick
way of spotting your potential is by looking at your abilities. A pointer to
your abilities is the activities you enjoy doing; that particular thing that
makes you stand out from the crowd.
If you’re not there yet,
then ask yourself this question. If all financial obligations were lifted off
your shoulders, which activity /work would you love to engage in and look
forward to every morning? Do you have the answer? Then that’s the arrow
pointing towards your abilities and your potential.
Now that
you have identified your potential you need to have knowledge of the steps
required to link it with success. You can start by creating a mental
picture of what you want to achieve, then break down the process into small
steps. And lastly incorporate these small steps into your daily routine.
2. Goal/purpose – the vast deposit of potential
lying in you was definitely placed there to help you achieve a divine
objective. This divine objective is what we call ‘goal/ purpose’. Presence of
goals is what gives daily hustle meaning and brings lasting fulfillment when
achieved.
Ask yourself, ‘what
purpose is your potential meant to serve?’ The answer to that question is your
goal in life. Therefore, align your daily schedule with your goal.
3. Passion – to realize your goal you need to
have a compelling desire to achieve it. This means carrying out your day-to-day
tasks with energy and self-drive. [SECRET: Passion opens doors of
opportunities.]
4. Positive attitude – approach your goals hence your
day-to-day activities/ work with confidence and optimism that you’re going to
accomplish them. No matter what you may encounter on the way, have a winning
mentality.
5. Resilience – I
would love to guarantee you a smooth sail in your endeavor but unfortunately I
can’t promise. Life is full of ups and downs but this should not get you
scared. One thing I can promise is ‘hope’ – no matter how bad your circumstances
may be, there is hope for positive outcome. So as you embark on your mission
make sure your skin is thick enough to withstand bad weather.
Because I want to see you
succeed, I’ll put everything in black and white. In the journey of life, you’ll
experience storms but your ability to withstand the side to side tossing will
determine your chances of reaching the shore – (your goal). Maybe you’re
wondering whether you’re cut out for that. And the answer is a resounding YES.
All you need to do is enlist hope and faith; hope for things to work out and
faith in validity of your purpose/ calling/ goals. With hope and faith you can
withstand any challenge and problem life throws at you.
There you’ve it. Those
are the components of what I call progressive & goal oriented choices. And
the amazing thing is all that is hidden within you.
Now that the key is in
your hands and you know how to use it, confidently slide it into the lock and
let your potential bloom into its fullness.
Conclusion
Before I let you go, you
need to know that your choices will unlock your potential but it doesn’t stop
there. Once you’ve access to the haven, you need to link that massive potential
with success. You may have all the information, formulas and ingredients for
success but without action nothing will change. So as you make the choices in
your mind choose to act too. Because the linking factor between potential and
success is action, action and more action.
And the good news is the
five ingredients above will motivate power packed actions which will
eventually deliver you to success.
All the Best!
