Every human being born
into this world was born with a potential to make a difference in a particular
field of life. That potential is the golden treasure the Almighty has
deposited into him/her. The job of the person on earth is to discover and
unleash his/her potential!
All that you will be;
all that you’ll ever be is hidden inside you. The stems, roots and fruits of a
seed proceeds from a single seed. That means the potential of the seed is
trapped in the seed itself. Your greatness, your future and your glory is all
hidden in you!
The very first step and
last to become the best of you is to discover and unleash your potential. Once
your do this, you’ll find that your life is becoming better and better and
you’re going higher and higher!
There are 7 ways to
unleash your potential and become the best of you!
1. Discover
Your True Self
To unleash your
potential and become and the best of you, you’ve got to discover your true
self. You must come to know who you really are. It’s ok to know other people
and to learn from them, but do you really know yourself?
Who are you? Where are
you coming from? What are you capable of doing? What on earth are you here for
and finally, where is your life going to?
You must discover your
self-identity and Source, God. You have to also discover your capabilities. If
you can develop one of your talents and become the best at it in the whole
world what would it be? What is the purpose and mission of your life?
2. Invest
Time, Money & Energy into the Development of Yourself
There’s only one
important thing in your life. What’s it? That’s you. To be successful and
become the best of yourself, you must invest in yourself.
You have to invest your
money into education, training and development of yourself. The Latin word educo of the English word educate means,
“to develop from within”. If you’re going to develop from within you, you must
invest your time and energy into learning and working on yourself.
The more you work on
yourself, the better you’ll become. The more you invest in yourself, the more
valuable you’ll become. And the more valuable you become the more value you
provide and the more in-demand you become, making you successful!
3. Pursue
Excellence
If you want to unleash
your potential, you must always strive to be excellent in what you do.
Excellent simply means to excel. Whatever you do, try as much as possible to do
it to the highest standard and levels of success.
4. Continuously
Improve
If you are going to
unleash your potential, then you must continuously improve. You have to develop
the habit of continuous learning and continuous improvement. The more you
learn, the more you acquire the knowledge and the understanding to make
improvements on what you have done.
Without the key of
continuous improvement, in fact you’ll become obsolete. To stay relevant in
your field, you must learn new things and be abreast with the last, modern ways
of doing things. You of course have to invest in different kinds of research
and on-the-job training.
5. Have
Integrity
Without integrity, you
cannot unleash your potential. To be the best, you must first be the best
person. That means you have to “become brutally honest with yourself”, says Mark
Cuban, owner of Dallas Mavericks.
You have to tell the
truth and live the truth. “You can fool some of the people some of the time.
But you can’t fool all the people”, said Steve Jobs. To unleash your potential,
you live in truth with yourself and with others. Remember, life is about
people. So deal truthfully with them!
6. Multiply
One Talent
The key to maximizing
and unleashing your potential is to first of focus on one talent. Develop that
talent to the apex. In the course of the development, that talent will stir up
other talents and abilities n you that you have no idea of.
So focus on one talent
and become the very best at it. As you do these, other hidden potentials in you
will also be unearth to fruitfulness.
7. Get
the Assistance of a Coach or Mentor
The essence of coaching
is to help bring the best in you. What a coach does is to improve the
performance of his/her clients. The coach focuses on unleashing the hidden
potential of his/her people.
Find the area you want
to develop in, get a coach or a mentor that can help you to develop and improve
in that area. Remember, every great star has a great mentor and coach behind
his success.
The whole essence of
life is for us to discover and unleash our potential. Your potential is simply
a latent, untapped and a hidden ability inside you. It’s who you can be but are
not right now! What if you could be the best in what you, how would you be?
Success in life is all
about unleashing your potential. Once you focus on you: discovering and
unleashing the potential in you, success will flock to you like bees to
honeycomb.
