Potential is such a powerful word and a powerful endeavor. How often have we all heard, so and so did not reach their potential, or so and so exceeded their potential? Potential is this obscure, fluid, ever changing finish line. If we can only reach our potential… we’ll be happy and living the life of our dreams. Although that is probably not the case, it does have a certain ring to it, doesn’t it?!
In some way’s potential is also a safety net. It can be a broad statement to express that we are giving it our all. We may have come up short, but we tried to hit our potential. However, I choose to think of it as something so much more powerful. I choose to think of potential as a mystical place where everything falls into place, all the energies align, and we are in the zone or flow state (link). Potential is beautiful, strong, successful, exciting, fulfilling, and beautifully addictive. Potential is rarely attained but often chased. Potential is the carrot we all chase around hoping to catch just a nibble.
So, how do we reach this mystical place? How do we keep ourselves motivated so that we can exceed our expectations and bask in our potential? Although there is not a top-secret recipe, these profound questions can help us strip away the layers of junk blocking us from sparkling in our own magnificent, beautiful, and authentic way. Be honest, transparent, and open with your answers, and get ready for your obstructions to crumble.
