UNLEASHING YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL

Unleashing your true Potential

Unleashing your true potential can be done
by knowing the exact limits of your potential.
Most of the people who don’t reach their true
potential fail to do it because they
underestimate their abilities and this usually
results in accepting mediocre results.
If I brought you a box and told you that it
weights one million pounds you may never try
to lift it.What If it was really light?

If you believed me without trying to carry the
box the result will be setting a new limit for
your potential and an additional “I can’t do it”
will be added to your list of impossible tasks.
If the example of the box seemed not to be
related to your life then you didn’t get it yet.
Life is full of such boxes everywhere around
you and it’s also full of people who will
convince you that you can never carry them.
The more you believe them the more you will
be limiting your true potential.
How Do People Limit their own Potential
When Sam was 15 everyone told him that he
can never have everything he wanted.
When he became 17 everyone told him that
he won’t be a millionaire .
When he reached 19 his friends told him that
it’s almost impossible to find a good job.
When he approached 21 his close friend told
him that he has to choose between his
career and his hobby because no one can
keep both together.
And when he became 22 another person told
him that there is another thing that he cant
do and when he became 23 the same
happened. These situations kept happening
with him as he kept growing.
Sam now has very well defined limits for his,
skills, abilities and potential. The only
problem is that he never defined these limits
himself but the people around him are the
ones who defined them for him. His friends,
His family and his colleagues limited his
potential, by convincing him that he can’t do
lots of things.
The Accumulation Effect
I didn’t say that one person was bad enough
to fill Sam’s mind with all these false ideas
but what happened is that each person
convinced Sam that he cannot do one thing
And the result was thinking that he can’t do
hundreds of things!! 
But what if those people were right?
In fact when someone tells you that
something is impossible its usually because
he couldn't do it himself. For example:
A friend who failed to find a good
job, can tell you its impossible to find a
good job 
A friend  who know nothing about
time management can tell you that its
impossible to keep on your hobbies after
starting to work
Another friend who was depressed
Can convince you that life is so depressing someone else that
Failed to do something will then tell you that its impossible And if
Someone was unhappy he will tell you that
happiness is an illusion. Everyone talks about
himself and thinks that this is how the world
works.
If you want to unleash your true potential
then tell those people that you are not like
them.
Tell them that we were not created equal
and tell them that if they failed to do
something then this doesn’t mean that you
will fail too. Don’t let someone define your
reality for you, instead, define your own
reality.
Unleashing your true potential can only
happen when you stop letting people define
your potential for you.
