It’s often said that people don’t realize their potential until it’s too late; however, this does not have to be the case. When we understand how our brains work and what it is that inspires us, we can begin to unlock our own potential.
If you are not living up to your potential, you are not living up to your full potential. If you are not living up to your full potential, then you are not living up to your true potential. ( Parang ang gulo ano pero gets nyo na yan!)
“Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to
bubble up, if you just dig.” - Marcus Aurelius
We all have an immense amount of potential that we haven't tapped into yet.
True happiness comes from realizing this vast ocean of untapped possibilities within yourself and then using it for the betterment of others and the world in general.
You need to know what your capabilities are so that you can use them to the best of your abilities. You also need to know what your limits are so that you don't try things beyond them.
It's important not only for yourself but also for those around you: if someone says they're going to climb Mt. Apo ( the highest mountain in the Philippines then they start complaining about the backpack being too heavy or their feet hurt after walking on cobblestones all day long, it may be more than just a coincidence that they didn't know their limitations beforehand!
Often, when you can't do something right now, it's because you haven't learned how to yet.
But this doesn't mean that your potential is limited.
You can always learn new skills and improve your existing ones. You can always learn new things or acquire knowledge that opens up new possibilities in your life.
What you think you can do and what you truly can do are not the same thing.
The more you put your mind to something, the easier it becomes.
I myself love to watch videos on Youtube, I am no videographer or editor by trade but I want to learn it so that I can use it in the future. I invested time watching videos, researching how to be better, and even webinars I did join so that I can improve my craft. Though I am not sure if I am good at it already I can say that I am better than where I am before.
By doing something you enjoy, you will be able to reach your true potential. You will be more motivated to do things and work hard, try new things, learn new things, and be creative.
This is also the reason why I still try to write though it is not published on other platforms yet I am working with some creatives that are long overdue, unfinished stories and poetries hoping that one day they will come into life.
It's important to realize that potential is not a fixed concept. It's not a fixed idea. And we need to think about this with respect to each other, because if you have a fixed idea about what someone else's potential is and then you try to do something about that person's potential, then the two of you are going to be in trouble. You'll be getting nowhere fast!
In other words: People change their minds all the time (which is why they're called "people"). They change their circumstances all the time (which is why they're called "circumstances"). So don't get too attached to one particular view of someone or something as being static or unchanging or fixed—because it won't last long!
This holds true to the podcast that I killed recently, not the one that I am planning to launch I just lost the drive to do and continue it anymore because I changed my mind and it doesn't align anymore with what I want to achieve.
The first step in realizing one's potential is to listen to oneself. Listening is different than hearing; it's a way of paying attention, of being present and open-minded. We all have the capacity to be attentive, but too often we allow our minds to wander or get caught up in external distractions (such as social media). By developing this skill, you can become more aware of your surroundings and make better decisions based on what you see and hear.
Listen to others—not just when they're giving advice or instructions, but also when they're doing their own thing: laughing at a joke from across the room, playing with their dog outside, or enjoying a cup of coffee with friends after work. Paying attention like this will help you understand how other people live their lives so that one day you might consider doing the same thing yourself!
Not all potential is created equal. One of the first things to realize is that you have more than one type of potential, and each type can be developed in different ways. You might have a genetic predisposition for music or mathematics, for example, but those talents can still be developed through practice and learning. As what Thomas Edison had pointed out which I truly love and as a reminder to myself.
Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration - Thomas Edison
Another thing to remember is that potential isn't fixed: it's not something you're born with and then never change throughout your life. Your potential can change over time as you grow older; it's an ongoing process that happens throughout your life span as a person matures physically and mentally (and sometimes spiritually). Your skills and abilities may also expand over time due to experience gained from working with others who are more knowledgeable than yourself—or even by reading articles like this one!
It's important to realize your potential because you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it. I know this from personal experience.
There is no limit to what a person can achieve; the only limit is the one placed on a person by themselves.
You can be a successful person if you want to be. There is no limit to what a person can achieve; the only limit is the one placed on a person by themselves. You are capable of anything that you set your mind to, as long as you put in the work and have faith in yourself. If you want to achieve your goals, then go out there and do it! You don’t need anyone else telling you otherwise – just start doing what needs to be done.
It doesn't matter who has come before us or how many people succeed at something we want; there's always room for more success stories if we seek them out ourselves with enough determination and hard work. I believe that everyone has potential within themselves - all they need is someone who believes in them as I do!
It doesn't matter where they come from or how much money they have; anyone can become successful if they put their mind towards something because anything worth having requires effort from those around us who care about us most! ( Kaya twerk lang, laban lang!)
I hope this article has helped you understand your own potential, and given you the motivation to reach it. Remember that one of the most important things in life is to be happy with yourself and who you are. Surround yourself with positive people who support your dreams, work towards those goals every day, and never stop growing as a person!
