Each and every one of us has the potential to do great things. However, his potential often lies untapped. Unleashing your full potential will get you the success you so desire, opening up your life to new and exciting experiences.

Not all of us have natural born talents, but the simple act of challenging yourself will bring about massive results. When faced with an impossible deadline or a highly complex situation, are you able to step up to the challenge? How resourceful can you be when it is absolutely necessary? Challenging yourself on a regular basis will result in enormous growth in your potential.

Once you start challenging yourself, you will find yourself in positions where you have to take more risks. Many of us do not reach our full potential because we are afraid of taking risks. Although the greatest risks are associated with the greatest rewards, most of us choose to focus on the most negative outcomes of the situation. When taking risks, the goal should be to carefully weigh the risks and find ways to minimize the risks as much as possible. Even if things do not work out as desired, you would always have gained wisdom and a new perspective.

You’ve consistently challenged yourself, you’ve learnt to take risks. Persistence is now the key to tying everything together to reach your full potential. Without persistence, your life will be full of could haves and should haves. Without persistence, you will never have given yourself the opportunity to follow through and achieve success. A person with little inherent ability but who has incredibly persistent will definitely surpass someone who has natural talent but no persistence. Make persistence a priority, and you will allow yourself the opportunity to unleash your hidden potential.

Continuous effort, along with the willingness to challenge yourself, and not strength or intelligence, it the key to unlocking your potential.
