If you remember nothing else after reading this post, please remember this You are valuable. You have greatness within you. You have un-tapped potential waiting to be discovered and utilized. Focus on that, instead of limiting beliefs. Remember that – always.

Of a fact, thousands of people question themselves daily, “how can I unlock my potential?” They are opposed to waiting around for luck and relying on the ordinary.

Clear Your Mind

As a result, they search themselves. This intimate, soul searching, honest reflection, allows them to pin point personal traits and desires for growth.

Resultantly, you too can do this. Not on a whim however. Soul searching is an important task that isn’t to be taken lightly. Create a quiet space where you feel relaxed and can be vulnerable with yourself. Clear your mind of all the things you believe are not in your favour. Be it money, support, skills, laws, opportunities or even physical appearances.

Likewise, clear your mind of any experiences that may have caused you to doubt your potential. When you have done this, you are now ready to focus fully on the next level of your growth.

Ideally, unlocking your potential is something you may want to aim for continually. After all, that’s how you keep growing. Encourage yourself after every effort and every win – care how small. The small efforts and wins add up and sometimes become major contributors to unlocking your potential.

Visualize

Next, visualize in stages, all your goals and how you will feel achieving them. Use colourful imagery. Spot every detail. From your smile to the proudness in your heart. Spot the sighs of relief and the tension disappearing from your shoulders. Who are the persons you wish to share these achievements with? Visualize how happy they are too.

Then, consider how do you feel. Did that bring you any joy – a smile even?

Guess what? Your visualization can become reality. Those joyous feelings can warm you in reality.

Now, you really have to hunger for them to become real. You are that powerful. You can unlock your potential.

Bear in mind, that your potential isn’t a destination. Nor is it one massive successful time in your life. Your potential is your ability to grow and develop yourself into better versions than you are currently.

Other Levels!

Therefore, with every level of growth that you unlock – there are other levels to secure! How awesome is that? This isn’t to make you feel pressured.

Actually, it is to keep you going and growing. So long as that is what you want.

Avoid being hard on yourself. Be honest. What have you done that you are proud of? Have you completed a task that seemed insurmountable at one point? What about your self talk? Has it become more positive?

Again, these little efforts and little wins, signaled a time when you unlocked your potential! You unlocked a part of your journey that wasn’t previously established. You see, you may have unlocked your potential many times without realizing it! The thing with your potential is that, there are many levels – and it keeps surprising you!

However, to keep getting those surprises, you have to work for them. The kind of work that you shouldn’t feel guilty about. including investing in yourself.

Additionally, ensure your environment is contributing to your growth and your desire to keep unlocking your potential. That way, you are nourished to grow by the people and things in your surroundings.

Take Action

Try as best as possible to sync your goals with your growth. Are you seeing growth in your pursuit of your goals? Having goals isn’t enough. For example, if a goal of yours is to unlock your potential… get specific. You have potential to do, to have and be many things.

Therefore, set specific goals that are realistic. Take action day in and day out to move one step closer to achieving them. Growth isn’t an overnight fleet. Neither is actualizing your full potential.

Like everything worthwhile, they take time. Sometimes, you may be tempted to harbour limiting beliefs due to the timing of the actualization of your goals. In those moments, remember:

You keep putting in the work. Grow with your goals. Acknowledge every small effort and win as an accomplishment. They add up and contribute to your full potential! Once you keep the habit of growing – you never cease to keep unlocking new levels of their potential. Keep burning the mid night lamp. Keep Rooting For Growth!
