Unlock Your Potential

                                           "Success is knowing your purpose in life, 

                                         growing to reach your maximum potential, 

                                               and sowing seeds that benefit others." 

                                                                       - John Maxwell

If you want to create and live your dream... or to be the star in your own movie, you have to step into your true potential. Here are a few tips on how to do this. 

1. Stop making excuses. Especially the internal excuses. We have all listened to that little saboteur in our head, our monkey-mind our limiting internal dialogue.

We say things to ourselves.... and it sounds something like this, 'I can't do it', 'I am not smart enough' or 'I am too young/old'. Does this sound familiar? The truth is that it is irrelevant and unnecessary. These limiting beliefs and internal excuses will hold us back from achieving our goals. 

2. Ask for help and express to people what you need. If you don't ask, you will never have it. Don't be afraid to ask people for help. No man is an island. We can't do it alone. You will  be surprised at how often people will respond positively to you when you honestly and clearly communicate what you want.

 "It's easier to limit yourself, but if you do, you will never reach your true potential." 

- Chris Witty

3. Dream - Believe - Achieve. It doesn't matter how big or small your dreams are. First you have to believe that you can achieve them.
Read inspiring books about people who rose above their limitations and blasted through the obstacles on their path and created their dreams. Listen to webinars, podcasts about people sharing their stories. How they made break thoughts in their lives. If they can do it... so can you. 

4. Always have an open mind. Seek new opportunities and get out of your comfort zone. This will help you discover your unique and different talents. A lot of time we are stuck in a limiting thinking pattern. Having an open mind is crucial. Also surround yourself with the dreamers and the believers.

"To reach your potential you must grow. And to grow you must be highly intentional about it." 

- John Maxwell

5. Create a Game-plan . Create a few daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals. Always write your goals down and read them out aloud every day. Hold yourself accountable to achieving your goals. If you need some extra support in accountability, talk to friend that can help you. Get a mentor or a coach.

6. Take Action. Nothing happens until YOU move. You can create the most elaborate game plan but if you fail to take action... well, it will just be the perfect game-plan. Taking Action is a must. No one else can do the work for you. 

"True success is reaching our potential without compromising our values." 

- Mohammed Ali
