Everyone has a potential which they can expand into.
Generally, we all expand into at least some of our potential just through the challenges of life. We need to earn money, to have fun and handle the mundane aspects such as managing our life. We all develop skills and abilities that enable us to get through life. This process of just living our lives forces us to realise some of our potential.
Many of us stop expanding into our potential for many and varied reasons. A large part tends to be the through maintaining a comfort zone where we retreat in many cases over time. Comfort zones are very useful, essential to provide the rest and recuperation we need to live.
There are other reasons why we stop exploring our potential, growing and generally thriving. The doubts, the inner narrative, those around us and our perception in general. We don’t know what we don’t know. We need to challenge our perception, we need to explore who we are through challenges. For some people, the countries culture or governments for example constrain us.
You can look at your ‘comfort zone’ which most of us try and inhabit as much as we can, as the first challenge to start with. Whilst perception and the inner narrative are the biggest aspects we need to work with, you won’t get anywhere if you don’t start to explore the limits of your comfort zone. As such, comfort zones can limit the releasing of our potential.
There is not just one “potential” we can expand into and explore and enjoy. Because time is a factor and whilst our major potential is unlimited, the practical limitation of time demands we prioritise our time and efforts. Your fullest potential if unbounded by time may well be enormous, but generally the amount of potential you can expand into will be less, you don’t live forever, and however sad that might seem, it’s a truth which we need to face if we are to live our life fully.
Therefore, it’s highly important that we organically explore priorities and comfort zones by getting in touch with what we feel and want to spend our time on.
Like, digging 100 holes a meter deep won’t get you very far, but will provide some depth and much width, it doesn’t provide as much purpose and reward as digging deep. Digging one hole 100 meters deep, not matter how difficult, will get you far, but it will also be a lined with challenges to be able to dig that deep.
It’s he challenges we rise to and the growth we experience through surfing the edge of our comfort zone that brings us closer to realising the most of our potential.
We should choose carefully what holes we dig and where we dig them.
You can have a more purposeful and enjoyable life. Just explore your potential, enjoy the journey and grow into your amazing future.
