How to Unlock your full potential ?
We all have unlimited potential that can be unlocked
Most people don’t tap even a small percentage of the potential that they have. They take themselves and their knowledge for granted, think they can’t increase it or grow any more and are happy living confined in their cocoon of average.
But mediocre is not what you are meant to be. Not when you have the ability to shine, excel and achieve all your goals. And certainly not when you have it in you to become extraordinary.
We at Lotus Wellness and Rehabilitation Center believe that you are capable of living to your full potential. But before you begin working on something, you need to convince why it is important for you.
Here are 3 simple reasons why you need to tap your full potential:
• If you are ambitious, want to be successful and reach the top of your game, you must unlock your full potential.
• If you want to be content that you did everything to bring out the best in you, you must unlock your full potential.
• If you want to feel happy that you lived your best life, you must unleash all that is there in you.
Other people will doubt you, judge you, even underestimate you. Don’t wait for them to recognise your worth and believe in you. The onus is on you to make that happen.
It’s not what others think you are capable of; it’s your complete faith in yourself and your ability to unleash your real potential that will decide how far you will get in life and succeed in your mission.
If you are serious about making something of yourself and want to look back at your life with happiness and pride, get started on your journey of self-actualisation.
Here’s how to go about it.
Be aware
It is rather surprising that many people consider themselves as having a limited amount of capacity for mental expansion.
For them, all growth stops after a certain time period or when they reach a certain age. It’s rather sad that such people due to their fixed mindset spend their life performing way below what they are truly capable of.
Self-awareness helps you to focus on knowing yourself, understanding that you can stretch beyond your limits and grow. It gets you in touch with your real self so that you recognise your strengths and can leverage on them.
Also, becoming more aware of yourself will help you realise your weaknesses and shortcomings and explain why you are not doing well in particular areas of your life. Hence, it draws your attention to the key areas of your life that need improvement and where putting in efforts can bring positive results.
Be willing
If you have the will to win and the burning desire to become your best version, it is possible and well within your reach because you have vast potential within you and can tap it as much as you want to.
However, to bring forth all that is within you, you must be willing to commit yourself to personal development and be ready to put in the requisite hard work. When you make the winning choice and take the leap to nurture yourself, you allow yourself to grow in all dimensions.
Thus, an open mind helps you expand your horizons and you not only begin to learn new things but also develop the confidence banking on the opportunities that come your way. A growth mindset will hence unfold infinite possibilities for you and help you unlock your true potential.
Be proactive
All plans materialise only when they are acted upon. Once you have made up your mind to unleash your full potential, you must get out of the thinking and planning mode, get proactive and enter in the action mode.
Overthinking causes you to worry unnecessarily and thus stops you from getting on with your work. When your mind is constantly thinking about negative results and adverse outcome, you cannot get anything done.
On the other hand, when you start taking steps towards self-improvement, you begin to make progress and can see visible changes which encourages you to keep going.
Your life goals are yours and so are your aspirations. Only you can materialise them, no one else can do it for you. En route your journey, you will come across difficulties and challenges, but once you have taken the ownership of your life, you are more oriented to solving the problems and finding the way forward.
You may not always get what you want but when you remain proactive and work on your goals on a daily basis, you are sure you’re on the right path and sooner or later, achievements will come your way and success will happen for you.
Be determined
Too often, people dream of unlocking their full potential and then leave things there, that is, at the dreaming stage. No wonder, nothing comes out of the castles in the air.
It’s easy to wish for success and even think about working for it, but as long as you are not determined to achieve your goals, you won’t taste success.
It’s easy to work on your goals when things are going smoothly. However, it’s when hurdles and obstacles come in your way, that your courage and confidence begin to dwindle. Most people pack up and take a U-turn on facing rough situations and unfavourable circumstances.
But not the highly successful people. They also experience adversity and hardships from time to time. The difference is these strong people don’t get scared of the trying times. Instead, they reinforce their self-belief and remain determined. It’s when you hold onto hope and remain determined, you are in control of your life and can take charge of everything that is happening around you. And that’s what turns the odds in your favour.
Only those who are resolute and stay put in the face of challenges, get to make progress towards their goals and emerge victorious.
Be persistent
Like any other worthwhile goal, reaching your full potential is a long journey so don’t expect quick results or overnight miracles.
In fact, if you are serious about self-betterment and achieving your true potential, you have to be persistent and keep working day-in and day-out. There’s no turning back or finding a shortcut.
Persistence requires high level of motivation. Figure out your motivating factors and bring them to use. Also anticipate the challenges that you might face, brace yourself up and chalk out your strategy to work your way around them.
While being persistent, the most important thing is: you have to trust the process and keep putting in your best efforts though sometimes you may not see visible early results.
Once you get yourself in the stick-on mode, you will not even contemplate of throwing in the towel and calling it quits while you experience hardships or adversity.
Be relentless
Success in any field comes to those who keep going relentlessly in their pursuit. You have to resist all temptations of instant gratification and keep distractions at bay.
Once you have decided to get more out of yourself, set your eyes firmly on the goal. Put your heart and soul into what you do.
Relentless people never stop bettering themselves. They are always looking for ways, means and opportunities to enrich and improve themselves.
Add value to your life by gaining more knowledge, increasing your expertise and adding more experience in your chosen field. Learn new skills and keep upping your level by slowly raising the bar higher for yourself.
It’s hard to stay in the game when things become difficult and you encounter hurdles or roadblocks. When things don’t pan out the way you want or your progress gets stalled, you may start feeling dejected and hopeless. But the only way forward is to remain relentless and give a strong fight till you get what you achieve.
Relentlessness works big time for most people because continuous efforts make you feel positive that you are on it. You slowly start seeing improvement in your work and begin to inch towards your goals. This gives boost to you confidence and motivates you to work even harder. No wonder relentless people succeed in getting what they aspire for.
We all have the ability to achieve big goals and do great things.
Unlocking your full potential is a matter of being mindful of your abilities and making the best use of them while knowing your weaknesses and working on them to overcome them.
In the highly competitive times that we are living, it is imperative to perform at your optimal level and bring out the best in you, if you want to make your mark and remain ahead of your game.
There’s no end to how much you can learn, grow, progress and accomplish in life. It’s entirely upto you to recognise your potential and make the best use of it.
Living your life in the best way possible and bringing out the best in you is what will give you true happiness and sense of fulfilment.
Setting and chasing goals makes our life purposeful. Fulfilling of your talents and unleashing your full potential is the most worthwhile and meaningful goal that you can set in life. It will not only help you become your best version but also lead to long lasting happiness.
