“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us” – Oliver Wendell Holmes

How many of you are TRULY living up to your potential?  Most of you are content to diddle along, getting by with what you know, not willing to push the envelope to find out what you can really do with your lives.  You stay in your ‘comfort’ zones, that are usually more like your ‘dis-comfort’ zone.  And you wonder if you could do it differently?  Are you one of these people?

• What is holding you back?
• Are you buying into the myths of fear?

When I started my business I knew only one thing.  I wanted to send a message to as many people as I could that you can get beyond the fears, doubts and anxieties that stop you from living up to your true potential.

With a background of abuses and a belief that I would never amount to much, I’ve spent the greater part of my life proving to myself (and those who thought little of my potential), that I was very capable.  I figured if I could do it, so could many others.

Fueled by a vision of what I wanted, I set forth on my epic journey through the jungle of my life.   Now, this may sound dramatic, but let’s face it, dealing with the twists and turns of our internal landscape can feel like an epic journey, and many of you reading this are thinking, I’m not on an epic journey.  I’m not even sure I want to be on the path at all.  It sounds like it’s too much like hard work but hey, I’m interested enough to check it out.

Part of the reason you’re reading this is to find some solutions to getting yourself out of wherever you are now.

• If you’re feeling stuck,
• lost
• or disappointed

its because you are doing what you hoped you would be doing at this time in your life.   You may not know what that looks like, yet, but you know there are answers out there. At present, you’re staring down the path, wondering what awaits you now that you’ve made a commitment to change.

So what can you do to start living TRUE to your potential?  It starts with two simple tools.

• A notepad and a pen.

Write down all your crazy ideas.

• Write down your dreams and your desires.
• Write down every little part of what you THINK you’d like to achieve in this lifetime, and let your imagination soar.
• Then write down what it will take for you to get there.

You may not have all the answers, but I’m sure there are some answers lurking.

Be careful of the big BUT.  This is not the time to be thinking ‘that’s a good idea BUT,’ because there is only one butt in your life.

But don’t censor yourself.  Dreams don’t have to be realistic.  If you find yourself thinking that’s not very realistic, then ignore it.  Push onwards.  Define what you want, when you want it by, and what will your life look like when you get it.

Living true to your potential is the gift you give yourself.
