regular basis you don't really know what your potential is until you challenge it
and unfortunately most of us don't challenge ourselves enough few people
challenge their potential enough to really understand or really actualize
what their fullest potential is and the reason we do this is we often choose
comfort we it's not always fun to challenge ourselves some people do like
to challenge themselves and those are the people who will definitely actualize
more of their potential but they often won't challenge themselves in ways that
they could often fail and that is one of the road they're one of the reasons why
we don't challenge ourselves enough is because we don't want to be disappointed
we don't want to fail but what could be more disappointing then getting to the
end of your life and wondering when is life supposed to get really good when
are you supposed to go on those fun adventures when are you supposed to make
a lot of money when are you supposed to start that new business write that novel
there's so many of us who were putting things off until later and we keep
thinking win win and win and putting it off into the future but the future
doesn't really exist and if you keep doing this long enough you will get to
the end of your life and you will realize all this time you could have
been working on these things all this time you could have been challenging
your potential instead of playing it safe and only playing in your comfort
zone unfortunately what I find a lot of in personal development is people saying
or thinking that they're going to wait or they're going to purify their spirit
first or they're going to destroy their ego
they have to first pray or meditate or they need to do the the law of
attraction or the secret so that success or fulfilling their potential comes
about organically but that is just a distraction that is just a way of
putting things off if you think about it yes plants crops whatever they do grow
organically but that only when it only happens when all of the right components
and elements come together and bringing all the right elements and components
together yes can happen without any trying it happens in nature but it
doesn't happen as well as we can make it happen
for instance if you just plant some seeds in the ground and then you use law
of attraction or you use the secret or you pray about or meditate about it
hoping that it just does its thing and organically grows
yes it's possible it could happen but if you don't water it and you don't put it
in good soil and you don't bring all the elements and the components together so
that it will grow you're just taking your chances of it possibly working out
so why would you do that with your life why would you do that why would you
leave it up to chance to create all the things that you want in your life or to
create the life that you desire there's a famous poem by the poet Robert Frost
called the road less traveled and you've probably heard that before it takes the
dirt the dirt road or I choose to take the dirt road what does that really mean
does it mean that you're very masochistic and you'd rather do
something the hard way rather than the easy way I don't think that's what they
mean by that if you have the opportunity to achieve what it is you want create
what you want get what you want by the fastest most effective and easiest way
possible you would be a fool not to do that but if we're always choosing what's
easy and comfortable we're probably not getting what we want we're probably not
doing the things that we want to do or creating Lidia's that we want our lives
so taking the dirt road or the road less traveled means that we're willing to do
whatever it takes to get what we want create what we want and
don't mean do whatever it takes like in screwing someone over or breaking the
law and none of those things meaning we're willing to take that dirt road
we're willing to go which really want for what we truly want rather than
taking an already paved road which is someone else's journey and a lot of us
do that - we're looking for an easier way there's a lot of unknowns life can
be dark life can be mysterious and bad ways and in good ways so we often look
for what's the easiest way okay there's someone who already called carved out
their path I'll just follow their path I'll just do what they did and in
certain cases this can be helpful but when it comes to a personal journey
imitating someone else's life isn't not going to be satisfying and it's not
going to be fulfilling sure imitate something someone has done in order to
achieve a certain result and you know if you would call that modeling which is
how NLP was created but when it comes to your own personal satisfaction which is
where your potential is your personal satisfaction will come through
actualizing that potential by making decisions in alignment with what it is
your potential is that's not always going to feel good that's not always
going to be comfortable but you know it when you're doing it because when you're
doing it there's a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that comes with it it's
not easy but you will never get that fulfillment in that satisfaction from
not doing it from taking what's easy from taking what has already been done
for you or taking what someone gives you it will never have that satisfaction and
that fulfillment we really get sold on this idea of having the things that I
mentioned earlier having the financial success having the adventurous life
having the relationship the girlfriend of a boyfriend we get soul in this idea
of having it and we want to jump past that doing it we want to jump we want to
jump past the process of it but the truth is is that that is really where
the satisfaction and the fulfillment is that just having it is not sure it's
nice to have it it's who doesn't want more money who doesn't want an
adventurous life but the process of Crete
eating that that's where the fulfillment is because that's when your actualizing
your potential who lives a more satisfying life a person who has had
everything given to them or a person who's had to create what they have for
one thing they're certainly going to value what it is that they have and are
less likely to lose it than someone who is just given everything and I assure
you it is far more fulfilling and far more satisfying to create what it is
that you want and create the life that you want and that will take challenging
yourself it won't take any just idle challenge or
just random challenge or just making something harder on yourself that's not
it either it's taking those things that you value
the things that you really want and really looking at what is it going to
take to get that and when you know what that is you will realize too that it's
going to be a challenge it's going to stretch you it's going to push you but
it's going to be worth it as well so the key to self-actualization is to feel the
call of your potential what does that sound like what it sounds like is you
see someone doing something you say I want to try that alright feel like I
could do that I believe I can I can make that work I can make that happen then do
it that is that call to action and it's going to change it's going to evolve you
start doing it you realize that might not be what you want but you keep going
you keep answering the call of your potential and you keep challenging
yourself to achieve that potential this will fulfill you this will satisfy you
and you also want to detach from the outcome the outcomes are going to change
because you're going to change in the process you're going to change and
evolve as you continue to challenge and actualize your potential this is what
growth is this is what learning and improving is this is what personal
development is it is absolutely worth it so challenge yourself challenge your
potential answer the call to your potential it won't be easy but it will
be well worth it
