How to Embrace the In-Between Seasons of Life
April 5, 2024
Do you ever feel like there’s so much more you want to accomplish with your life? Do you feel like you’re stuck in a rut and don’t know how to get out? If so, you’re not alone. Many people feel this way at some point in their lives. No one ever truly feels like they’re living up to their full potential, but what breaks my heart is that so many of us never even scratch the surface of what we’re capable of.
And the truth is you are capable of more than you can ever imagine. You have limitless potential inside of you. And no matter what anyone else tells you, you are needed. The world is waiting for you to share your unique gifts, skills, and experiences. So, are you ready to unlock your potential and start living a more fulfilling life? If so, let’s dive in.
Being bold is the number one tip for unleashing your potential in the world. We often allow fear, doubt, and the opinions of others to prevent us from going after what we truly desire. If you really want to see what you’re capable of, be bold. Stop caring about the opinions of others and show the world the beauty, strength, and pure magic that you are.
To live up to your potential, you need to have goals. Goals provide a direction for your energy and effort. Get very clear on what you desire in every aspect of your life and write it down. My mother always says: “write the vision and make it plain.”
Focus on what you are passionate about and good at doing. You’ll have the most potential in the areas where you show natural strength and a high interest level.
Spend the time necessary to find a good mentor or life coach. Some of the leading experts in the world still have a coach or mentor. The right mentor can help you reach your potential faster than you can alone. There’s nothing like having your own cheerleader to support you, keep you accountable, and provide the guidance needed to achieve your goals.
A small amount of progress accumulated over time can have amazing results. Avoid overwhelming yourself by setting a schedule or goals you can’t maintain. But be sure to make some progress each day. The amount of progress you can make in a year would be staggering. What steps can you take today to bring you closer to your goals?
The most challenging job you have is creating habits. Keeping with the same theme of making progress each day, develop habits that will help you achieve your goals. Examine your goals and determine the daily practices that would make success likely. Once the right habits are in place, there’s little else to worry about. Create an effective routine and stick with it.
Sometimes, there are things that block us from going after our dreams. It might be a lack of time, money, or other resources. Maybe you have a job that demands a lot of your time. Perhaps your dream is so big that you feel it will take lots of money to get started.
Whatever the obstacle is, there’s always a way to get around it. Start by brainstorming solutions. Think about what you can do to overcome them or at least minimize them. Make a list of what you need, what you need to stop/start doing, and how you can alter your life to make success more likely.
If you expect failure, you’re bound to fail. Why not give yourself the benefit of the doubt and expect good things? There’s no reason to doubt yourself if you have concrete goals, good habits, and discipline.
Believing in yourself is key to unlocking your potential. And if this is an area you’re struggling with because no one has ever believed in you, please know that I believe in you. You probably think, “she’s just saying that.” But as I write these words, my thoughts are on you. So, even though I may not have met you yet, I can feel you. And you, dear one, are worthy and capable of all that you desire.
Showing up for yourself, acting boldly, and putting in the work are just a few things you can do to unlock your potential. Make today the day you start living at your highest level.
