Do you have that nagging feeling that you could do so much more with your life, in your career or in sport, but you are just not sure why your true potential has not been fulfilled?
Realistically, not many people can claim they have achieved all that they are capable of, but imagine if you could achieve that one thing that you are really passionate about, the thing that you dream about, that thing that helps you get up in the morning. Just think about how much better your life would be if you could discover how to take that step towards your perceived greatness. Whether it be getting that promotion at work, scoring or defending the winning goal, discovering a product that will change the world and make your fortune or just becoming the very best person you can, have you ever considered just what is it that is holding you back?
Stop for a minute and think about why you are not where you want to be - do any of these ring a bell?
How's Your Self-Belief?
All successful people have an innate and constant self-belief that pushes them towards their goals. They are self driven, motivated and determined because they know they can achieve whatever they put their minds to. Do you have the confidence and self belief required to become successful?
Who Are Your Role Models?
Who is it that you admire and want to be like? How has that person got to where they are now and what has driven to achieve their potential? Study that person in depth, check out their background, what motivates them, where their dream originated and find out everything you can about what makes them tick it’s so easy these days with Google!
Who Do You Mix With?
Spend as much time as you can with people who want what you want, who can inspire you to greatness and are willing to share their journey, their successes and their failures with you. Share your thoughts, dreams and aspirations with them and feed off their motivation and energy.
Are you Prepared To Move Outside Your Comfort Zone?
If you really want to fulfill your potential, you know that you can’t keep doing what you are doing now. Something has to change, you have to be prepared to move outside your comfort zone, as the old saying goes “If you keep doing the same thing, you will keep getting the same result”.
Successful people willingly take on difficult tasks, taking risks by pushing themselves further than their peers and viewing failure as just another opportunity to learn. Are you willing to make the necessary changes to set you on your path to your personal awesomeness?
Have You Planned For Your Success?
Have you planned for your success? Do you have clearly defined goals that you have written down and can measure? Goal setting is crucial if you want to achieve your goal. Work backwards from the target and set incremental goals and track your progress as you go. Keep moving forward and keep your eyes on the prize.
Be the catalyst for your own success. Small but consistent gains will inspire you to keep going and move towards your goals. Positive affirmations every day will help build your self belief. Plan and make goal setting your first priority. Be prepared to move outside your comfort zone by improving on something each day that you find difficult. Work harder, become a student of the person you admire most, find out where the successful people you want to emulate hang out and get there.
If you are not willing to embrace the changes that you need to find your nirvana, then your dreams and your true potential will remain just that - Start today, what are you waiting for?
