Reflection

Not always will our passion be within the corporate or business sector. It can sometimes be a cause, humanitarian or environmental. The most important factor is that your heart be in what it is you choose to do. My question to you today is - ‘what’s stopping you from getting on track with your heart-felt potential yearnings?’ Remember, it is an accumulation of little steps that yield the big outcomes we dream of. So start today with your first step, and a year from now I am sure you would be pleasantly surprised to see how far you’ve travelled.

Action Points

1. Decide today to do something for at least 30 minutes that is in line with your potential aspiration.
2. This may be doing some online research, picking up the phone to speak to that person who can provide some support, start writing a book etc.
3. Make a commitment that at least for the first week, you’ll spend an hour a day, Monday to Friday working on your potential. Use Saturday and Sunday to reflect on progress made. In a month’s time you’ll be surprised how far you’ve travelled.

Remember, life is not a rehearsal! Take daily actions in working out your potential!
