Five Scientifically Proven Ways To Unleash Your Limitless Potential

Do you feel trapped in your life by circumstance? Limited and confined?

You're not alone, but you have lurking within you, everything you need to be anything you want. To do that... to get there, all that's necessary is to tap into the wellspring of potential you didn't know you had.

Before you can do that, however, it's important to understand what potential actually is. You'll read a lot of different definitions, but it's best understood as the synthesis of creativity and industriousness. Having one without the other will only get you so far. You need both if you're going to reshape the arc of your life.

Fortunately, there are a variety of proven ways you can ignite your potential. Here are the biggest and best ones:

1) Minimize - No, this doesn't mean that you have to sell all your worldly possessions and live in a yurt in the middle of a field, but it does mean that you should take a serious look at your world and your immediate surroundings and clear out as much clutter as you can.

Start by tidying up your work space, but take it as far as you're comfortable with. When I did this, I wound up embracing the concept of minimalism, by literally packing up everything I owned in boxes, and only unpacking the stuff I needed. After thirty days, anything that was still in the boxes (except for mementos), I sold at a big yard sale. Obviously, you don't have to take it quite to that extreme, but the more you can de-clutter, the faster you'll see meaningful progress.

Why This Works: This is effective for the simple reason that "stuff"= the potential for distraction, and achieving big goals requires focus.

2) Lists Are Your Friend - A shocking percentage of people don't actually know what they want out of life. Spend some time thinking about that. Make a list. Sketch out your future in broad terms, and don't worry about how impossible the goals seem. Pure "Blue-Sky" thinking here.

Why This Works: Visualization is an important part of achieving greatness, and making a list... actually writing down your goals, dreams, and desires is an important step in that process. It helps to make your goals real. Tangible. The moment they become tangible, they become achievable.

3) Be Discrete - This doesn't mean you have to live your life skulking in the shadows, but rather, once you've listed your dreams and goals - once you've written down your overarching goals, you want to refine your list. Break those goals into granular steps.

Your goals are probably pretty big, and if you think too long and too hard about the goals themselves, you might get a bit intimidated. You can avoid that by simply focusing on the individual tasks involved in moving you closer to your goals, and you'll be shocked at how quickly you make progress!

Why This Works: You've probably heard the saying "don't try to eat the elephant in one bite." There's a lot of truth to that. Any time you want to tackle a big task, the best place to start is to break it into several smaller, discrete tasks and start knocking them out one by one.

4) Force Yourself To Innovate - While the list making and accomplishing small goals in steady progression speaks to the industrious side of the equation, it doesn't do anything to foster creativity. For that, you need to get used to innovating. But how? The simplest way is to test yourself on a regular basis. Every week, for example, give yourself this challenge: "Using only materials you can find within 100 yards of where you are right now, make something that will improve your life or current situation."

Why This Works: When you do this, it forces you to look at the world around you through a different set of eyes. It forces you to improvise, and look at everything around you as an opportunity.

5) One Thing At A Time - Everybody thinks they're great at multitasking, but science has proven that it isn't true. Actually, only 2% of the population is more productive when they multitask. For the rest of us poor shmucks, we're better off focusing on one thing at a time, knocking it out, and moving onto the next thing.

Why This Works: The science is clear. You're about 10% less productive if you try to juggle multiple tasks at once, and your productivity continues to suffer and worsen throughout the course of the day. Keep it simple. One thing at a time.

There's no magic bullet that will automatically pull back the curtain and give you easy access to the wellspring of your potential. It's a process that takes time and effort, but if you approach it as just another problem to be solved, and use the five strategies outlined above as a cohesive whole, you'll find yourself accomplishing more than you ever imagined you could.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
