Potential:
Latent qualities or abilities that may be developed and lead
to future success or usefulness.

The failure of most individuals comes from their lack of
knowing their own potential.
Aside from athletes, a majority of people have never been
pushed or needed to take themselves to new levels of
accomplishment. Settling for mediocrity has plagued the
lifestyles of many individuals. I believe this leads to a
lower sense of self esteem and the lessening of standards of
personal demands growth and achievements.
To see one’s own potential is both a blessing and a curse.
The blessing is in accomplishing new heights in personal
goals but the curse is due to seeing the new potential and
never being satisfied with less than what you have now
become.
You do not have to be a competitor in anything other in life
in order to take your potential to new heights. This can be
applied in any aspect of your life, from eating, exercising,
work, being a parent, a child etc..
Of course I will use physical potential because this is what
I do. It can be applied to any area of your life. Being a
competitive bodybuilder, I have had my body fat down to
three percent and this is no easy task. I personally cannot
stay that way all year around but just knowing I can get
that lean has instilled a knowledge of my own achievable
potential in my mind.
My point is that once you reach a certain level of success
in some area then you know you can achieve it again with
effort, dedication, conviction and discipline! Little
adjustments in your daily lifestyle or habits make a big
difference in your end results. The changes do not have to
be great. They can be subtle.
Instead of eating two donuts from the office break room only
eat one. Eat it slow and enjoy it. Get off the elevator a
flight or two before your floor and take the steps. Then the
following week take half a donut and find something you like
and replace it. Now take three flights instead of two and
progress.
Believe in yourself and make no excuses. If you did it
yesterday you can do it today but better and more
effectively. Use affirmations, “I am a healthy eater!” Say
it with conviction and believe it.
Keep negative words out your affirmations. Words such as
don't, can't, won't. Use will and can! Change “I don't eat
bad foods” to “I do eat healthy foods!” These are just a few
simple things you can do on a daily basis.
You must grow your potential daily and make it better than
it was yesterday. Understand that your ability to do or not
do something contributes to your potential.
· Where do you want to be in
a week, a month, a year? See it, visualize it, affirm it and
be it! Doubt has no place in your life right now nor do
negative people, comments, thoughts or past self
limitations. Every self doubt you release and move past is
one step closer to you goal and improved potential.
This is one thing in life that YOU have control of. I
believe the only limits we have are the ones we place on
ourselves. Even people with physical ailments reach newer
levels of potential. The only one that can hold you back is
you, so....LET GO Unleash your hero and your potential!
UNLEASH YOUR HERO!
