Your True Potential, No Regrets
What is your true potential? People sometimes carry talents and skills that are taken for granted by others. Perhaps sometimes even taken for granted within their own mind.
I had the great pleasure of discovering a talent that blew me away recently. Joe Everson, a man who can sing and paint on canvas at the same time and in front of thousands of people. If you are in doubt his fantastic talent, you can see him here.
Watching his performance had me wondering. What untapped talent do people carry with them and what can they learn when they decide that they truly want more?
Workplaces and Everywhere
I see it often in the workforce circles that I travel. I meet with workplace leaders who describe for me unmet goals, deficiencies, and missed opportunities. It comes out with coaching clients who might struggle with seeing next turns or how to unveil their own potential that feels locked up inside.
From my experiences, there is one thing and one thing alone that makes the difference for those who achieve and those who do not. That one thing is desire. Desire leads to commitment. Commitment leads to perseverance, and ultimately to success.
Many people talk about change. They discuss roadblocks, failed attempts, and sometimes find circumstances or situations that will accept blame for shortcomings. Any of those or all of them are only an excuse when they stop you.
For those who are committed and have the desire to change those challenges might signal the edge. The edge of the end of what they want to leave behind and the edge of the beginning of where they are destined to be.
Your True Potential
Change might not happen in an instant, but it starts in a moment. The moment you decide.
Success for individuals, success for a team, success in life, a business or in sports happens when you have enough desire to be courageously committed.
Have you ever wondered about your true potential?
We might regret what we never try.
No regrets.
