Episode 053 – What Is Your Potential
What is your potential? What are you doing to achieve it?
Historian Will Durant said, “I think the ability of the average man could be doubled if it were demanded.”
Your potential is shaped by what’s around you. Every idea you have. Who you become and what you do are impacted by what you’ve been exposed to.
Thomas S. Monson said, “Decisions determine your destiny.”
This is true, but what we expose ourselves to has a direct impact on the decisions we are capable of making.
Your decisions, your life, is a product of your thoughts. Those thoughts come from the people you are around, your environment, the books you read, the podcasts you listen to, your experiences, and more. When you take control of your environment and dictate those things, you will have greater control over your thoughts and choices.
Durant said, “Most people are living small, not because they lack the inherent talent, but because their situation isn’t demanding more of them. They haven’t placed themselves in a position requiring them to become more than they currently are.”
Benjamin Hardy said, “You are responsible for shaping and choosing the environment that will ultimately shape the person you become and the destiny you have.”
How are you expanding your environment? I’ve talked about the questions you should be asking yourself each morning. One of them is, “What’s one thing that I could do today that is outside of my comfort zone?” When you are stepping out of your comfort zone on a daily basis, you build confidence and you expand your experiences and your potential grows.
