UNLOCKING AND HARNESSING YOUR POTENTIAL

 

From the time we are born into the world till we die, everything changes, we change, but time keeps moving. Time, as we say, waits for no man. So, in order to unlock and harness our potential, we have to do that while we still have the energy to do it, and that is in our prime (our youthful age).

So, we have to ask ourselves these questions before we can unlock and harness our potential.

1) What is my purpose?

2) Where do I see myself in half a decade?

3) What steps am I taking to achieve my goals?

If you've not started doing anything, then the time to start is now because the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You have to take that step now because if you don't take that step now, you'll just keep planning and end up not doing anything.

How do I unlock and harness my potential?

Here are some steps to take in order to unlock and harness one's potential.

1. Have an image of what I want to achieve:

you should have a clear picture of what you want to achieve, your purpose in life so as to start the step to unlocking your potential.

2. Have goals (short and long-term goals): 

I want to have published 50 articles in 3 months and in 5 years' time, I want to have over 5000 articles that I've published and also started a YouTube page with a viewership of 5000 followers.

3. Prioritize: 

you should have a plan and focus on what is important. Do not waste time on fruitless endeavors. Put your energy into something that is productive.

4. Do not allow negativity:

Because negativity breeds doubts. If Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, had given in to his doubts, would he be where he is today? He saw his potential, pursued it relentlessly and made his dream into a reality. If he had stopped because his previous program Facematch was banned due to it being inappropriate and allowing negativity, he wouldn't have created Facebook and been where he is now. So, stop thinking negative thoughts and think positive thoughts. Have a positive attitude towards things.

Time is very essential to whatever we do in this world. We have to know how to manage our time and utilize our resources as we are young and strong now. What is our excuse for not making the best out of our time?

Do not lose track of your purpose. Stay disciplined and committed to your plan. Follow your plan religiously.

Always take time to relax and unwind. Achieve a work-life balance. Be balanced on all fronts.

Finally, after pointing out all of these. Let's take a look at ourselves, the year is coming to an end. What have we achieved this year? We all start the new year with resolutions, let's start ours with a resolution to be all that we can be now and harness our potential. See you all at the top.
