How to unlock your Potential

The following tips can help you unlock your potential:

  • Define success – What does success means to you?  Does it mean being financially stable? owning a home? Success depends on your own ability and determination to work hard. Define your success and work towards achieving it.   
  • Set realistic goals – Don’t be over excited and set big, unrealistic goals forgetting that you need to make sure they are realistic and attainable. Start small as you look to setting and achieving bigger goals. No goal or milestone is too small or insignificant.
  • Believe in yourself – Self belief can take you to places and makes you seek opportunities you never thought you would.
  • Have the right attitude – Your attitude will determine the amount of effort you will put in achieving success. It will also help you carry out your role effectively and to do more than you have been assigned. Your attitude is what will guide you when things get tough, and failure comes.
  • Seize opportunities along the way – Don’t let opportunities pass you, make the best of use of your environment to create a livelihood for your self and family.
  • Don’t shy a way from asking for help – Your weakness is someone  else strength therefore ask for help where necessary. Learn from one another, this will go along way helping build each other.
  • Focus on the future – Don’t focus so much on your current life but rather use it to prepare for a better tomorrow. Work hard now for a better tomorrow.
  • Be challenged – Challenges will help you get out of your comfort zone and enable you to be creative besides enabling you to grow.
  • Go the extra mile – Going an extra mile, is what differentiate an ordinary and an extraordinary individual. Learn to do more than is expected of you.

    I think you hit the mark on these tips to be successful. These are very encouraging as well, it can get so hard while you are working towards something. You can start to doubt yourself, or think it is taking too long. While we should enjoy life in the moment, there is something to be said about not dwelling too much on our current state and focus on what we are doing to change it.

    1. Hi, succeeding in life is more about finding ways to overcome the various weaknesses we face in life, and exploring our potentials to the maximum. Thanks for the insightful comments.
