THE FIVE REASONS WHY YOU ARE NOT FULFILLING YOUR POTENTIAL
BY DR. MIRANDA FELLOWS
 
“The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream.
The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits inside the egg; and in the
highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs.
Dreams are the seedlings of realities.” – James Allen Very few people can
claim that they have achieved all that they are capable of. Do you have a
nagging feeling that you could do much, much more with your life and
career?
What is that is stopping you right now from making a much greater
contribution to society? What is preventing you from fulfilling your potential?
Life is short, it’s time to take action and Carpe Diem! Seize the Day!
1. You do not have enough belief in yourself. All successful people have
enormous self-belief. This does not mean that they are arrogant, narcissistic
or complacent -- on the contrary, they are self-critical and push themselves
hard because they know that they can achieve more. What is it that is
special about you?
2. You do not measure yourself against written goals. It is hard to make
progress if you have no clear goals for your life. Set yourself targets in the
areas that are important to you. You can be flexible and adjust how you
move forward but you must keep moving. Do you have written objectives
that you track regularly?
3. You are too comfortable where you are. It is easy and natural to settle
into a rut. High achievers take risks. They move out of their comfort zones.
Where are you right now -- inside your comfort zone or taking risks?
4. You are lazy. Either that or you waste a lot of time every day on low value
activities. If you have clear goals but are not making progress towards
them, look at your activity level. Persistence pays dividends. How high is
your work rate?
5. You are not mixing with high achievers. Let’s face it -- your friends and
family are really nice people but they may not be challenging you to achieve
more. Spend more time with high flyers and positive thinkers who
understand ambition and achievement. They will encourage you and give
you the direct advice you need. How much time are you spending with really
successful people?
