Are you swimming upstream, downstream, or merely wading in potential?

As determined as you are, are you accessing your full potential?

... Let’s chat, okay so I have mixed feelings about the whole "potential" aspect when it refers to a person. The "potential" aspect is ironically unseen by ourselves but often by someone close to us. Ever hear someone say “He or She has so much potential, I mean they are just so good at this or that", or "I can just see so much in them"...

Blah, Blah Blah.

The problem is that person doesn't even see all of this so-called "potential" that everyone else see's or thinks they possess, Why? Because they are only showing the traits of themselves that have yet to be developed, and in all honesty, those traits may never become developed. I mean this isn't The Matrix but I would suggest you take the red pill.

Embrace the harsh reality and accept its truth that you are simply not taking the time to access that part of you that will allow you to succeed.

In order to fully activate that part of you that is somewhat underdeveloped, you must Know Yourself. What is it about yourself that lies undiscovered? What about yourself are you not familiar with? Okay, I know this sounds crazy, how can I not be familiar with myself? Well, you would actually be surprised how many people don't even know what type of cereal they like or what type of movie they would like to go see because they don't know themselves and are making their own everyday decisions off of the people around them.

Don't be that person! Get to know yourself. Spend some quality time with you and be patient. This phase should feel like you're dating and guess who the lucky person is, you!

Understanding how your mind works is extremely significant on your quest to harnessing that potential so pay close attention to the type of thoughts you usually have. Are your thoughts generally at random with no structure? Are you more inclined to go off of how you feel? Are you a planner? Do you think about the things you want to do for the day, and so on...

The hidden parts of ourselves often obtain the most substance. These are the details about ourselves we never care to mention, or let anyone else see, but these details often house our skills and creativity. Sometimes these are the parts that are still unknown and foreign to us. So how exactly do you push past your limits and become the real you with absolutely no potential left to discover?

Ignite the spark. Harness everything that is within realm of possibility and produce your own reality. Tap into that part of you that you know will relinquish your personal success. It was already ordained and written for you, you just have to access it. Ask yourself are you swimming upstream, downstream, or merely wading in the current?
