The world is structured in such a way that nothing comes on a silver platter. If anything, we face great opposition every time we try to do something constructive.
For instance, potential is one of the greatest powers we have as humans. However, the excavation of the same is always going to be hindered by different things.
Here are at least 8 things that you should look out for. They could be hindering the deployment of your potential.
The world is symbiotic. We need each other. When we are to deploy our potential, perhaps the greatest help we can ever recruit is that of another human being.
The way life is structured is in such a way that there really is no self made whatever. Everyone climbs on the shoulders of someone to stretch their potential.
In this episode, we talk about the need for mentors and coaches in excavation of potential. Stay tuned.
Death Row. The small bridge between life and the next dispensation. Any time could be your time. I wonder what goes on in the mind of an inmate on death row.
Nevertheless, you will find quite a few on death row who are "prepared" and ready to die. For the most part, they did cultivate their potential and that's why they are ready.
Let's listen to this and see the life of such a one.
One of the greatest mistakes the world over is meddling. It is very rare to find people who are sticking to what they are supposed to do in the long haul.
In excavation of potential, we cannot be doing piecemeal work in a haphazard manner and expect to make it.
That's why we need to remain committed and focussed until we are successful. Listen to this.
As much as potential is a powerful word to both organizations and individuals, it is not something that is found lying on the surface. It is much deeper than that. For it to be excavated and deployed, some things have to be put in place.
Richard Branson explained that if you are given something to do and you do not have the knowledge of doing it, do not pass it on. Take it and learn to do it. That is one of the most potent pieces of advice you can get about potential. Listen to this.
It's already established that we all have potential. I can tell you that if there is an investment that you and I need t make, it would be in our potential.
It is a high return to bet on one's potential. There are several ways that potential can be excavated. In this episode, we look at the natural ways in which that potential can be excavated.
Listen in.
One of the most powerful things on earth for any human is their potential. In order to have our potential lighted up, it is important for us to make the right choices.
I can tell you this for free: if you are to make a choice that will reinforce your potential, make sure the choice you are making is filled with lots of resistance. There has to be pressure, discomfort and uncertainty.
Listen to this.
The scary thing about potential is that it exists in each of us but we can easily fail to deliver on it.
I mean, chances are that we could fail to manifest out boundless possibilities within us because of this and that.
Whatever the case, we have to make sure that any hint of potential in our lives is acted upon fully and strongly. So the question is: How do we cultivate our potential?
Listen to this.
Potential is such a powerful and vast topic. I have reason to believe that there is not a single human that doesn't have potential.
Because we are creatures of purpose, it easily follows that the root of purpose is obviously potential. I have dared that if you could find a single human anywhere that didn't have potential, then I am ready to become an Atheist.
This is a first of very many episodes on the subject. Listen in.
The subject of purpose is surreal. It is something so close to my heart. A few days ago, I came across a video on Tony Robbin's Instagram page about purpose.
Although the video clip was rather short, he shared that people should not be fixated on finding a single purpose... That there are many purposes to serve.
I share my sentiments against that assertion in this episode. Listen in.
Rejection is obviously one uncomfortable thing that we face in life each day. It's even found in close knit relationships such as between lovers, between parents, between work mates and so on.
When it does happen, one might be tempted to think low of themselves. Here is why the power of context will help you to get a "Yes" always, or it will help you to put a "No" in its right perspective.
Listen in.
The reason for the existence of human beings on the face of the earth is productivity.
To be productive is to do what we were intended to do in the first place. It is one thing to have activities going on, but quite another to be productive.
In this episode, I summarize the 5 steps that will make you as productive as you were intended to be. Listen to this.
You know, some of the top performers in life are so exemplary that at times we forget that they are human.
I listened to TD Jakes one day narrating how he was discouraged and felt like giving up. From his story, today we shall learn one more thing that causes us to be productive in life.
Check it out.
To be productive means to do the right thing at the right time and in the right way. If you are interested in being productive, then you will have to come to terms that you might need to do things outside of the norm. This will need one to dare mighty things, and at times to look stupid on doing what is not generally accepted. Listen to this.
Productivity is something that is intended for every human being. That means that there is an expectation for us to be valuable in life. The question is, how do we get that done?
Most definitely, there is a great need to have insight into all the activities that we are doing. Why do we do the things that we do? The why of doing something can be a great motivational force. Listen to this.
When it falls on you to be productive, can you be counted on? If someone asked you about the productivity of your life at the moment, what will you tell them?
Where will you draw the evidence and the strength for your productivity? Every action we take must have some insight so we can be as productive as we would like to be.
Find out the first step to being really productive in life in this episode.
There are very few reasons why we are all alive. Probably, there is only one major reason for us being on earth, and that is so that we can be productive. Productivity though is not necessarily activity.
In other words, all the activity that we could be involved within life could not necessarily lead to an effective and productive life. In here, there is one major definition of productivity that you need to look at.
Listen in.
Life might not be as complicated as people think, or as they make it be. It turns out that life can be pretty simple to live...but that does not necessarily mean that it will be easy.
Decisions are at the centre of productive life of meaning. There could be very many decisions that one can make in their life, but ultimately, the key decisions to make might not be that many.
They could be as few as three simple decisions. Let us see what these are. Listen in.
Perhaps the greatest decision you can ever make in life is the decision for a life of purpose. It is not the only decision thought that can shape your destiny.
Purpose is a high road that constricts and focuses a visionary on a few things to be achieved. How they will be achieved is the second biggest decision you will ever make.
The essence of life signatures is to leave a mark behind. Here is the second biggest decision you can make in life. Listen in.
Decisions shape our destinies. There is no doubt about that. Frankly, there are different types of decisions that we can make.
At times we make decisions daily and those tiny little decisions coalesce into something major that shapes our lives.
However, there are moments that we make huge decisions that drastically define and alter the way we will live and the direction we will take. This is such a decision. Listen to this.
It is one thing to decide and yet it is quite another to follow through.
Coming to the moment of making a decision is as crucial a moment as any, and when you do make a decision, you have started shaping your destiny.
Sadly, though, many decisions made in life are never given the time to germinate to full fruition and maturity. The rate of abortions of ideas and decisions the world over is astounding.
How can we support our decisions to complete implementation? Listen to this.
Of course, the weapons of mass destruction have never been discovered. But, people have been killed, mailed and left incapacitated. Families have been shattered and a whole region made unstable.
Two men made a decision against the advice of the whole wide world and went to Iraq to do war under false pretence. Every decision you make will always have far-reaching consequences.
Here is how you can avoid a Bush/Blair blunder in your decision-making.
We know that it is in the moments of our decision making that our destinies are shaped. This means that any decision we make in life is critical in shaping out how our lives will turn out to be.
It could be chronic-over a long period of time, or it could be sudden. Either way, decisions shape our lives.
What then is the input of trusted mentors, coaches and counsellors? What do we do with their input in our decision-making process? Listen to this.
The most successful among us are those in control of their decision-making process. Yes, they do consult. Yes, they do make huge decisions, but no, they do not vacillate in their decision-making process.
Deciding is available for each one of us in life. The more we are deciding and backing up those decisions with action, the much better. Listen to this.
The most successful among us are obviously those who make decisions every now and then. They make audacious decisions that are backed up with instantaneous action on them.
We all have the opportunity to make decisions. One of the things that we need to learn at heart and make it a character of virtue, is the discipline of deciding promptly.
Vacillating over a decision can have far-reaching repercussions. Listen to this.
