discovered. It is hidden from us because every precious thing in this life
doesn’t come easily, note Gold as precious as it is, is very difficult to find
likewise diamond. What hides our potentials could be our past hurts,
disappointments, failures low self-esteem, words like “you will never make it
in life” from friends, close relative and colleagues and put downs that have
tainted your self-image and believe about who you are. Each time someone told you that you were not
good enough, smart enough, or talented enough, you automatically start becoming
doubtful about who you are and what you could become. As yourself esteem
lowered, you began to hide behind a mask of people pleasing, overachieving, or
careless living.

incredible nature that you were created and endowed with. It’s time to embrace
the person you an become and discover the potentials hidden behind your
insecurities and silent pains.

Failure

the world had listened to the nay Sayers or viewed their failure as end point?

current through a bulb filament after 99 failed attempts but finally succeed at
the 100 attempt. So never give up so soon when you fail. Note; those who
persevere use failure as a learning experience”.

Moving From A Fix Mindset
To A Growth Mindset
A Growth Mindset |
The first aspect of discovering your hidden potential means moving from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset an reframing the negative to positives.
How you interpret setbacks,
challenges and barriers is your choice. You can interpret setbacks as signs
that you have a fixed talents or abilities that are lacking or you can
interpret setbacks with a growth mindset, meaning seeing challenges as signs
that you need to ramp up your skills, stretch yourself, and expand your abilities.
It’s your choice, you choose to grow or not. You have the potential to control
the outcome of anything in your life in a variety of different ways.
Don’t let your fixed mindset, or “preprogrammed” passions or skills
drive what you think you are good at. These fixed mindset beliefs do not decide
or determine your future, you do.Strengthening Your Growth Mindset
Lets
Recognize We All Have Ants Always Working In our Heads
We all have bullions thoughts running through
our heads every single second of the day with many having negative
implications/effect on us. We should be using tools like slack to strengthen knowledge beyond the classroom.
We all have Automatic Negative Thoughts(ANTs).
ANTs takeover the little voice in our heads by
planting negative seeds. We allow those negative seeds to destroy our dreams
and tear down our goals. It’s hard to remain positive when that little voice is
constantly spouting off and saying things like, “I can’t do that, I’m not smart
enough, “I have no business being in this field”, “I’m not making a different”,
I’m not worthy of my peer groups and age mates”.
In order for you to move forward and find your
hidden potential, you need to squish the ANT, inner dialog. This means
recognizing them as they appear and pulling out a can ANT killer and annihilate
them.

How To Kill The ANTS
How To Kill The ANTS
Kill the ANTs by talking
back positive things to yourself we all are not strangers to talking to
ourselves while doing other things.
When that ugly ANT or fixed mindset makes its way into your inner
conversation, TALK BACK TO IT! I know it sounds silly, but positiveaffirmations work telling
yourself YOU CAN DO THIS works. Positive thoughts row out the negative
ANTs. Try to catch the negative statements as they happen and immediately
follow-up with a positive statement.
Negative statement such as
when your fixed mindset says; “ I don’t think you can do this, you don’t have
the skill”.
Your GROWTH MINDSET
answers, “ I might not be able to do it now, but I am going to put in the time
and learn’.
WHEN YOUR FIXED MINDSET
says; “ if I don’t try, I won’t fail and people won’t think less of m”.
YOUR GROWTH MINDSET
answer’s; “If I don’t try, I will fail. I will have no sense of accomplishment”.
With time, the voice that
becomes louder will be your choice and never you allowed your fixed mindset win
at any point.
Always speak positively to yourself concerning
anything you want to do, don’t give chance to the negative side of what you are
about to do, only choose take up the growth mindset and see the positive aspect
of it.You Are Worthy Of Success An Happiness
Many people are held back because they don’t believe they are worthy of success. They can’t see themselves beyond the run of their mill life they are accustomed to. They look for opportunities from a limited perspective of what they already have and can’t see past this.
The earlier you wake-up to
know that you have the power and capacity to achieve everything and anything in
life just by looking beyond your present state in life. You can look beyond
your current position, earning, influence, or whatever it may be. Your sense of
self-worth will have a huge impact on what you are willing to do, so take off
the blind fold blocking your brilliance and go for it.
Whatsoever you believe you
deserve, you can achieve it.
It Just Take Some Work
There is no magic bullet or
tools that will lead you to know about what you are capable of doing.
Even if you don’t see it yet, there is greatness within you, but it
takes working on yourself first. Potential comes from character development and
having within us what we want to give to the world. Whether it is leadership,
creativity, generosity, compassion, courage, kindness or confidence, you can
cultivate this trait.
The list of universal traits that all human beings posses is endless. The
catch is, we must realize that to become more compassionate for instance, will
take hard-work, study and practice if it does against our current conditioning.
It requires work from the inside out to make lasting hanging. We see other
people using these traits and assumed that they are not within us, but ah
character trait you can think of is a natural human capacity.
There is no magic bullet or tools that will lead you to know about what you are capable of doing.
You, me and every other person in the world can deepen and develop these attributes take self-growth and transformation seriously.
