YOUR UNLIMITED POTENTIALS MADE KNOWN

Would you believe that each one of us can be called as “Magicians of Our Life” which means allowing us to
discover our unlimited potential that are not made known to us? Have you ever thought of what you really
wanted to do in life and ...what drives you to do it? What really makes you happy when you have accomplished
it? I strongly suggest that we should explore and look into what we really wanted, try to learn more about it
and try to grow in it. Let us try to find out whatever is that possible passion and do all we can to nourish it.
Therefore, we should give our commitment and dedication for it, trying to work hard to realize all our dreams
and what we hope for to be a success. Try on that enigma and see through that process of working our way out
to reach that dream we aim for.
We have to inculcate in our mind that there’s nothing that we cannot do. Let it be made known that we have
that unlimited potential in us to be anything or to be anyone that we wanted to be for that matter. That we can
actually achieve and reach that goal of whatever we wish for. All we’ve got to do is give that 110% of our
energy and focus on it. Then, you will excel at anything in your life. Not only do we have to prosper materially
but we also have to be developed spiritually. We should reach that height wherein we learn how to resist and
our conscience too will resist negative impulses and emotions that will lead us to negative actions.
Let all our mistakes be in the past and let all the corrections consist our future. Ruminate on the past to let us
carry on and thread the path of improvement in all the aspects of our life. Don’t allow yourself to carry that
burden forward for that will only mean that we will be anti-progressive. Sometimes there is that tendency in us
to grow bitter and trying to bark at the wrong tree, meaning we storm at the wrong distribution of the good
things of life. Then, it’s too late to find ourselves relapsed into a hopeless, fatalistic acceptance of what our
condition is. There are times that we even envy the success of others when actually we should emulate the
process by which the success came.
For us to know that unlimited potential we have within us, we must have self-control. A sensible and wise man
should be able to know his weak points or whatever it is that hinders him to fully attain success. Self-control
can help us address the reality for it moves man from the dreamy world with limited opportunities to the world
full of opportunities. We should learn from our past mistakes but never dwell on it. Prove them wrong when
the world behind you thinks you don’t have any potential or talent in you.
Love and having the right people around us can help us navigate our way to know and discover our unlimited
potentials that lie within us. We can make things happen. Every step along our way can help us develop our
potentials. The daily work of developing and using our potential can help us to be great at what we do and to
make us a better person. All it takes to have our unlimited potentials to be made known is our courage to find
the right niche for our talent that will let us create our own opportunities.
