Are you living into your potential?
Every single one of us has a huge amount of potential, whether we believe that or not.Ā We are not born with a set of āpotentialsā and that is all you will be able to do and achieve in your life.Ā
I was just watching a documentary on Arnold Schwarzenegger, called Arnold.Ā Do you think he had a finite set of potential for his life?Ā He became a top bodybuilder and won first place in all the championships.Ā Then he went on to be an actor, and you may not like the kind of movies he did, but he was very successful.Ā After that he got into politics and became Governor of California and really changed a lot of things.Ā To be the top dog in 3 different categories in life is truly phenomenal.Ā Could he have been President of the US if it was allowed?Ā No doubt in my mind.
Circumstances
He did not grow up in a wealthy household or even a loving one.Ā He was a foreigner with an accent.Ā His circumstances were not conducive to success.Ā Did he use them to work for him on his potential?Ā Absolutely.Ā
How do you make the most of your potential?Ā You decide what you want.Ā Now you may say you do not know what you want.Ā This was me for many years.Ā But all it is, is not showing up for yourself.Ā I remember deciding to do a lot of things over the years because I thought it would be fun and once I made the decision I was in the flow of making things happen.Ā Some things I like doing, others I didnāt, but they all led me to something I am really passionate about right now, coaching.
Are you living into your full potential?
Decide what you want and go after it.Ā You will hit obstacles along the way, you will fail, you will feel like giving up, but just keep going.Ā Please note, do not have this attitude if something is harmful to you.Ā Anything that is harmful is not for you and there is no shame in walking away.Ā In actual fact, it is the smart thing to do.
We are all capable of doing all the things that we want in our lives.Ā We just block ourselves with our limiting beliefs that somehow, we are not worthy or talented enough or that we just ādo it.Ā We can, but we donāt allow ourselves to do the things we want.Ā All we need to do is use the power of our minds.Ā We have such a powerful asset that goes unutilized most of the time.
Just do it.
When I push myself to do something I want, I am so in awe of what I am capable of doing.Ā Each of us has this potential.Ā Quite a few years ago, I decided to learn Russian.Ā I thought it would be fun to be able to read in Russian as the vocab just looked to be a mystery.Ā I got myself a tutor and managed to learn to speak conversational Russian, write and read it.Ā Super fun.Ā I canāt remember much of it now as I donāt practice, but I do know that with very little effort I could do it again.

Hi, Iām Antoinette Porter, your hostess at Live Life Inspired where we will explore what is possible in your life.Ā A life you can look back on and say, āWow!! I did that!ā
What are you not allowing yourself to do?Ā Most of us live really small lives.Ā We find a job that sustains us, we get married, start families and most of our time goes into maintaining this lifestyle.Ā For some people who had to leave their countries of origin and start all over, doing this was part of their potential. Ā But for most of us, it is just existing.
Are you living into your potential?
Nobody is knocking comfort and it is nice to park there for a bit, but the problem with comfort is, it does not grow you.Ā You are not meant to stay stagnant in this life.Ā You are meant to experience all sorts of things and you have the potential to do just that.
If you know you have the potential, but you just donāt know where to start or what to do, I can help you.Ā Do you want to start a business?Ā Do you want to build more confidence?Ā Do you want to make the most of your potential?Ā Do you want to make more money?Ā I can help you do all these things and more.
What is it you really want to do?
