Life Potential - Don't Settle For Second Best
By Gillian Tyldesley
What stops you from trying something new, something that may be a bit difficult or doesn't fit in with your family or friends?
Many of us settle for the mediocre, the achievable without fuss, or just what is expected of us by others. On the surface we can all offer a brave face of a bad lot - some people may be very successful in certain areas of life but still they feel something is missing! In a world of abundance of choice we can get confused about what we really want and lose track of what we really feel.
We can develop many fears which hold us back from achievement. These fears may be out dated assumptions we have about ourselves, and as such need to be rooted out of our subconscious. Some of the beliefs we have about ourselves have been many years in the making and will not give up without a fight. Many beliefs are formed in childhood and come from other people's opinions about us - school friends, bullies, teachers, and siblings. And the process carries on into adolescence and is re-enforced into adulthood.
The subconscious mind can not distinguish between the true article and the falsehood. It simply wants to follow the same old well worn track that it is used to. Your mind will filter out information that does not fit in with your picture of life. Therefore if you don't change your picture of life the chances are you may never become aware of opportunities that are all around you. Just like a self-fulfilling prophecy what you expect to happen to you often does. Your potential is laid to rest.
In order to reach your true potential you can start by examining your beliefs. You must ask yourself "what is this belief costing me". If the belief is holding you back you can start on the road to challenge and overturn that belief. Without knowledge the status quo continues. Remember that travelling the same road over and over will never take you to a new destination. Sometimes you need to stop, look around and choose a different road.
