Power of our Personal Potential

by Lori Walton

When we step out of the box, and realize we have so much more to offer, how are those around you reacting to it? Do they embrace and support your growth? Are they cynical and judgmental about the changes? How interesting is it that people actually scoff at the notion of Unlimited Potential that we each hold.

When you are presented with the fact that we all have so much potential within us, and how amazing it would be to tap into it, and understand there is so much more we have yet to realize, what is your first instinct/reaction?

Do you scoff to yourself like some might if presented with the same question surrounded by their peers in a group setting? Or do you actually get curious about the potential you personally hold?

When I refer to our Unlimited Potential through these articles, my intention is for you to get curious about what you personally hold.

When you become curious about it, you will begin to get comfortable with the knowledge of the massive amounts of potential you hold. When you become comfortable with that knowledge, you can choose to own your concept of potential. When you own it, it becomes your truth. No one can change that truth but you.

Once you realize the potential you hold, and you choose to own that potential, you may notice you begin to act differently. You may become more confident; you may choose to become responsible for your own future, creator of your own destiny (take ownership as you make your choices). When you can realize how much you have to offer to whatever you put your mind too, you decloak your brilliance for others to see.

By having the courage to decloak your brilliance in front of others, you create the space for them to become curious about their own potential about their own brilliance.

If we all realized our personal potential and accepted the notion of continuously unfolding potential, we could speak our truths with the knowledge of there always being something more. Creating space for others to grow, recognizing that everyone; even those who you bump up against; are full of unlimited potential as well.

To recognize that even with those who are critical of you and your abilities, that somewhere deep down within them, Beneath the Bull and Bravado is Brilliance.
