Achieve your truest Potential

-
It’s about leaving everything on the table and making sure you live up to your inner drive. Look, when I talk about reaching your potential, I’m not talking about what other people or society thinks we should do with our lives.

When you chase empty goals and objects, you become restless. Instead, chase your own potential and forget about everything external. Become the best person you can be. That’s the only honorable aim there is.

Don’t let anyone else judge your success. If you don’t consider it your duty—your obligation—to live up to your potential, then you will live a life far short of what you are capable of.

What Does 'Achieving Your Potential' Really Mean?
When we talk of 'achieving potential', it's easy to be so vague as to what these words mean as to render our discussions meaningless. People might nod sagely to one another without having the slightest idea as to what 'potential' might actually mean for practical purposes. So my first tip on achieving potential is to define our use of the word.
  • Achieve your potential by knowing in which direction you travel
  • Learn to disregard the popular opinion
  • Push the boundaries
  • Achieve your potential by cultivating curiosity and fascination
  • Clear your way for the potential to grow
  • Remember your potential may be infinite
"You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings Learn to use them, and fly."

How to Reach your truest Potential
I want to tell you about four changes I made—and you can make—to reach your highest potential:
1. Write down your goals.
You set these goals. Don’t let anybody else tell you what your goals should be.Think of success like breathing air; your last breath is important, but it’s your next breath that’s vital. Goals keep you focused on what’s next, and writing them down keeps you on track.
2. Choose things just out of reach.
Don’t just think about what is “realistic.” The problem with realistic thinking is that it’s usually based on what others think is possible. They don’t know your potential. Whenever you start a task with a mind toward the potential outcome, you will limit the actions required to accomplish that goal.
3. Take massive action.
Never do anything normal. Take massive action until one day it is no longer an unusual activity but a habit for you. People will ask you: “Why are you still out this late?” “What are you doing calling on a Saturday?” “You never quit, do you?” And even “What are you on?” Big goals require big actions. Reaching your full potential requires massive actions.
4. Stay persistent.                                         
How do you get a nail in a wall? You hit it over and over and over. The ability to persist on your path regardless of setbacks, unexpected events, bad news and resistance—to continue firmly in your purpose in spite of conditions—is a trait common to those who make it. Reaching your potential requires you to be persistent; there are no quitters here.
How much success have you accumulated in your life? Whatever level you have attained, you can do more. Never limit your potential success and never limit what you will do to create and keep that success. Have monster goals and attack them hard. Remember that people who are highly successful—in both their professional and personal lives—continue to work, produce and create long after they’ve flourished.
Full Potential in Career
When it comes to your career, never work for your quota; work to your potential. Working for your potential will keep you highly motivated. This also ties into your ethical obligation. You know what you’re capable of, not others. Quotas are numbers made up by others for you to hit. How did they come up with that quota. Don’t operate by what others think is possible.
Understand also that you will not reach your full potential without increasing your knowledge. You must train and invest in yourself to make yourself better. LeBron James is trying to reach his full potential as a basketball player because he trains daily. Anything you want to flourish in will require you to put in time and energy.
You also can’t reach your full potential holding on to where you are. Start writing your goals down each day. Choose things just out of reach. And take massive actions to hit them.


We may not all have a big plan for our lives but we can all think about questions such as:
• What am I good at?
• What is the nature of the work I enjoy?
• How important is money (and the lifestyle it can give me)?
• What makes me get up in the morning?
• Do I enjoy learning new things across a broad spectrum or do I want to be ‘the expert? 

 Once you understand yourself better, the rest will flow more easily, you can start to look at the choices you are making on a daily basis and see whether they are consistent with your goals or acting as invisible barriers.

Leaders are Readers

Firstly, Leaders are naturally inquisitive, which leads them on a quest for knowledge. Leaders are hungry for knowledge thus they want to understand life, people, and reality. Reading can be a powerful catalyst for thinking; it has the potential for stimulating   wisdom . A long while ago, I heard someone say, “Leaders are readers.” It made a big impression on me, and I never forgot it. Of course, it doesn’t follow that all readers are leaders, but I think we can safely say with little exception, all leaders are readers . One of the best sources of knowledge is books since they usually offer the most in-depth information on any given topic. Anyone who is inclined to immerse themselves in learning has at least one of the innate qualities it takes to be a leader. Reading books expands our vocabularies Your communication is only as good as your vocabulary, which is directly linked to your intelligence. Leaders must be at the very least articulate. A strong le...

Balancing Emotions

-

As human we operate on emotions and most of the decisions we take is influenced by our emotion, while we justify it logically. Emotions like anger, love, hate, sadness, fear, joy have some triggers to excite those specific emotions. Some horror movie scene triggers the fear in us, seeing someone we have crush triggers the love feeling in us and so on. There are three parts to an emotion: 1.       A subjective component (how you experience the emotion) 2.      A physiological component (how your bodies react to the emotion) 3.      An expressive component (how you behave in response to the emotion). These different elements can play a role in the function and purpose of your emotional responses. Emotions can be short-lived, such as a flash of annoyance at a co-worker, or long-lasting, such as enduring sadness over the loss of a relationship. But why exactly do we experience emotions? What role do they se...

Building Strong Mental Health

Mental health influences how you think, feel and behave in daily life . Psychology often discusses mental health -- but what’s not often discussed is a clear definition of mental strength. To me, mental strength means that you regulate your emotions, manage your thoughts, and behave in a positive manner, despite your circumstances. Developing mental strength is about finding the courage to live according to your values and being bold enough to create your own definition of success. People who are mentally healthy have A sense of contentment A zest for living and the ability to laugh and have fun. The ability to deal with stress and bounce back from adversity. A sense of meaning and purpose, in both their activities and their relationships. The flexibility to learn new skills and adapt to change. A balance between work and play, rest and activity, etc. The ability to build and maintain fulfilling relationships. Self-confidence ...
