Human potential, though not always apparent, is there waiting to be discovered and invited forth. William W. Purkey

How do you know what you’re capable of achieving?

How will you ever know your true potential?

You don’t and won’t unless you’re willing to push yourself.

But why would you push yourself when you can coast through life, applying as little pressure on yourself as needed?

A reason to push yourself is so that you can uncover your true, untapped potential.

But pushing yourself can be difficult and, at times, even demoralizing. But there’s a little trick you can use. Instead of pushing yourself, find something you’re interested in and allow it to pull you towards it and light your potential on fire.

So how do you find an interest that ignites your potential?

That is a good question, and there isn’t one correct answer. So, I’ll give you the best answer I have.

Continuous exposure to different and new ideas and information.

Exposing yourself to new and different ideas in today’s age of abundant and easily accessible information is much easier to do than it once was. You’re no longer bound by geography or the people you have access to. But you must be open to entertaining new ideas and take a systematic approach to do so.

Why a systematic approach?

Because while you might stumble across an idea or two during everyday living, putting a system in place will help you accelerate the number of opportunities to find your interests.

The number of new ideas and people you interact with is up to you, but the sooner you commit to doing so, the closer you’ll be to finding an interest that begins to tap into your true potential.

While you might have some physical limitations with age, it’s almost never too late to find out what you’re capable of achieving. And keep in mind, this is only about you and your ability, and you’re not comparing yourself to anyone else.

So, if you’re curious about your true potential, implement a system today that allows new ideas and information to flow into your life. Find that idea or interest that allows you to flourish and releases your untapped potential.
