“I Don’t Always Feel Good About Myself Because I’m Not Tapping Into My Full Potential…” (Roadblock #9)
Have you ever had that feeling that you are much more than who you think you are or what others see of you?
And when you think of that, how is this making you feel?
What is going on in your mind?
This is not an uncommon feeling among people, especially among executives. You’ve come this far, climbed the corporate ladder, getting yourself into a power position where you manage people and resources to make a difference in people’s lives, and you know there is even more… You know there is so much more inside you – awaiting to be unlocked – but day after day you witness that you’re not maximising what you’ve been given by life, both from nature (your parental genes) and nurture (from your environment, upbringing, and education).
Deep down, you know with certainty that there is more to you than meets the eye, but for some strange reason, it’s not happening…
We all have an enormous reservoir of potential but the majority of us are using only a tiny fraction of what we have.
So why is it so close, yet it feels so far?
It’s because you’re battling an invisible force: resistance. You can’t see it, touch it or smell it, but resistance is alive and well and it’s living in all of us. It rears its ugly head whenever we start something new or return to a treasured project. People live unfulfilled lives because they ‘listen’ to resistance.
Resistance seems to come from outside ourselves. We locate it in spouses, jobs, bosses, kids, and colleagues. But in reality, resistance is not a peripheral opponent; it arises from within. It is self-generated and self-perpetuated. It’s our enemy from within. Resistance joins the other voices inside our heads. It is the friend of fear, procrastination, and staying inside our comfort zones.
Resistance is our enemy because its aim is to shove us away, distract us, and prevent us from doing our work and achieving our goals. Its target is the epicentre of our being: our genius, our soul, the unique and priceless gift we were put on earth to give and that no one else has but us.
The good news is that the path to awesomeness is still as clear as it has ever been and now it doesn’t have to take a lifetime.
So then why do most people decide to travel down the average path?
The truth is that they don’t decide. The only thing you have to do on the average path does not die. You graduate from high school or college and effectively shift into neutral.
Some general tips to embark on the path to awesomeness include:
- Give your goals meaning. Goals need to fire you up and if they don’t, then they need some refining. Goals begin on the inside with a desire and an intention and are seen in the outside world as a result of focus and execution. Goals need strong personal commitment and this often means changes in attitude, perception, behaviour, and a stronger belief in your abilities and self-worth.
- Get crystal clear on who you truly are. Without this degree of clarity and certainty on your core values, your core drivers and on what is holding you back from achieving your full potential, you lack congruency and that makes it harder to reach your peak performance and feel totally aligned with what you’re doing.
- Self-reflection. Go deep and spend time alone without distractions. Let answers percolate to the surface. Take note of them. Write them down and reflect on them. Internal growth starts here.
- Be flexible and become resilient. Things may not turn out exactly as you expect, and having your own individual strategies to tackle these roadblocks by balancing your perception, overcoming the roller coaster of emotions, and breaking through fears and self-limiting obstacles is what will be needed.
The steps and suggestions above are just the starts. However, the true solutions lie inside each and every one of us. We must all seek out our own individual answers because there is no magic bullet and no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution.
