Unleashing your true Potential

Unleashing your true potential can be done by knowing the exact limits of your potential.
Most of the people who don’t reach their true potential fail to do it because they underestimate themselves and this usually results in accepting inadequate performance as if it is the best that they can do.

If I brought you a box and told you that it weights one million pounds you may never try to lift it. But what if I was lying to you? What if it was really light?

If you believed me without trying to carry the box the result will be setting a new limit for your potential, and an additional “I can’t do it” will be added to your list of impossible tasks.

If the example of the box seemed not to be related to your life then you didn’t get it yet. Life is full of such boxes everywhere around you, and it’s also full of people who will convince you that you can never carry them. The more you believe them, the more you limit your true potential.

How Do People Limit their own Potential

When Sam was 15, everyone told him that he can never have everything he wanted.
When he became 17, everyone told him that he won’t be a millionaire. When he reached 19, his friends told him that it’s almost impossible to find a good job. When he approached 21, his close friend told him that he has to choose between his career and his hobby because no one can keep both together. And when he became 22 , another person told him that there is another thing that he cant do and when he became 23 the same happened, it kept happening as he kept growing.

Sam now has very well defined limits for his, skills, abilities and potential. The only problem is that he never defined these limits; the people around him are the ones who defined them for him. His friends, His family and his colleagues limited his potential, by convincing him that he can’t do lots of things.

The Accumulation Effect

I didn’t say that one person was bad enough to fill Sam’s mind with all these false ideas, but what happened is, each person convinced Sam that he cannot do one thing And the result was thinking that he can’t do hundreds of things!!

Now you may be asking, what if those people were right?
What’s really funny is, when someone tells you that something is impossible, its usually because he couldn't do it himself. For example:

• A friend of mine who failed to find a good job told me once that its impossible to find a good job in Alexandria
• A friend of mine who know nothing about time management told me once that its impossible to keep on holding to your hobbies after starting to work
• A friend of mine who was depressed once told me that life is so depressing

It goes like this, if someone failed to do something he will tell you that its impossible, And if someone was unhappy he will tell you that happiness is an illusion. Everyone talks about himself and thinks that its the real world.

If you want to unleash your true potential, tell those people that you are not like them.
Tell them that we were not created equal; tell them that if they failed then it doesn’t mean that you will fail too. Don’t let someone define your reality for you, instead, define your own reality.

Unleashing your true potential can only happen when you stop letting people define your potential for you.
