"UNSTOPPABLE"

                              

                                                          Understanding Potential

 

2023 was supposed to be a game-changer for me. I don’t make resolutions because I have no control over any of that. Case and point, the year has just started, and I’m nowhere near where I planned to be.

I have deadlines and try to work around the curveballs life has dealt me.

Not to say I won’t get there because I understand it’s not over unless I give up.

What I understand more about myself than anyone is my belief system, personal strengths, and ability never to give up no matter what obstacles are placed in my way remain a driving force in my life.

However, I’m singular, meaning those gifts are assigned to me only. My drive and determination come from my hardware or wiring, built in at the time of my creation.

Everyone is different and may not understand their potential. They may not have the same desires or goals due to a lack of self-worth and self-doubt.

To be clear, no one else will if you don’t believe in yourself.

The road to failure begins with self-doubt if you don’t understand your potential or self-worth.

Each of us was born with gifts or talents. Our ability to do everything comes from God, but I want to discuss non-spiritual gifts. We’ll label them today as talent.

Talent is defined as “natural aptitude or skill.

Potential is defined as “unrealized ability.”

When we know better, we can do better.

 Knowledge is power.

We all have the capability to perform some tasks exceptionally. I won’t label each one, but you know where your strengths lie.

Still, when we don’t know our potential, we allow others to define us, which gives up our power.

Now, I’m not talking about power in a supernatural form. According to  second Timothy 1:7, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind.”

In my opinion, this translates to you can do anything you set your mind to, which makes you unstoppable if you possess the drive and determination to reach any goal.

The way to understand your potential and reaching goals is as follows:

1.      Listen to your intuition, the inner voice that resides inside us all.

2.      Don’t be lazy. Make a plan and stick with it.

3.      Have goals. Write them down and be consistent.

4.      Celebrate goals. When you achieve one, feel great about it and move on to the next one.

5.      Don’t let failures become setbacks.

6.      There is a finish line that leads to success.

Be resolute and steadfast in all you do. This alone will make you unstoppable.
