Human beings each have the ability to turn nothing into something, to turn insignificance into greatness. We each start life as insignificant beings but with unlimited potential. We each have a choice to make in our lives. This choice will set the course for our life and determine whether we will live an insignificant life or whether we will stretch ourselves to achieve unimagined goals, to realize seemingly impossible dreams and to positively impact as many people around us as possible.
All we need to do is make a simple decision.
Should I go for it or not? Should I strike out and take the steps necessary to move from insignificance to greatness? Should I make a move from living an ordinary life to stretching myself and striving to reach my full potential?
Before you make this decision there is something you probably should know. There is a really interesting phenomena surrounding our individual potential.....it is unlimited and unbounded! No matter what level of success you have achieved in life there is always more.....you can always achieve more and realize more of your potential!
The problem with most of us is that we go through life assuming that there is a lid on our potential, a glass ceiling that we cannot break through that was established by others and once we hit it we have to stop. This lid or ceiling could be our nationality, our looks, our gender, political preferences, our IQ, our upbringing, our parents, our social class or a million other excuses. But these ceilings are just an excuse....they are just an illusion. There is no ceiling and there are no limits on your potential.
All you need to do is make that decision to go for it. Don't get sidelined by excuses and glass ceilings. Never get complacent or satisfied and never stop. Always raise the bar. Concentrate on converting as much of your unlimited potential to reality as you can! Start this process by discovering your areas of strength and then leverage these strengths in every role that you have in life.
Live in your Strength Zone and strive to turn insignificance into greatness!
