Let’s face it. Sometimes now matter how hard you try, your mind will not allow you to expand the possibilities and consider the really big opportunities.
Maybe its fear…fear of the risks you will face, fear of the success that might come about, or just the fear of leaving your comfort zone.
Maybe its inexperience…inexperience in thinking outside the box, inexperience in going beyond where you have always been, or inexperience in whatever it is that you are not allowing yourself to explore on a larger scale.
Or, just maybe, its that you are simply not interacting with the right people, not reading the right books, or not watching and listening to the right information (whether it be from the radio, the television, or various other information and learning sources).
Whatever the cause, let me assure you of one thing: Thinking too small will limit your results, reduce your impacts, and keep you from achieving your true potential. Period. End of story.
From where I sit there is no greater sin than that of not discovering and achieving your true potential, not just for what you will achieve, but for what you will become in the process.
So what can you do?
1. Expand your network?make commitment to connect with at least one new person each week whom will help you to expand your thinking, or perhaps teach you about something you don?t know. Don?t make it difficult, just look around and find a person in your community or your industry and ask them for a few minutes of their time. Let them know you want to learn more about what they do, set an appointment, and make the connection. Listen, learn, and expand your mind!
2. Read more mind expanding content…few things are more abundant than information and the ways to access it seem to expand every day. Books, magazines, websites, blogs, and newspapers all provide content that you can read to expand your mind. If you really want to expand your mind, make a commitment to read publications you would not normally read, and learn to skim to capture the highlights so that you can access a broad array of information quickly. The process will open your mind and the magnitude of the information will bring forth new thoughts, new ideas, and new insights!
3. Watch and listen to more powerful messages…books on tape, podcasts, online videos, and tele-seminars are powerful tools for accessing information, many of wich can be consumed on the go. Search online for programs that fit your areas of interest, or better yet, that intrigue you because you don?t know as much about them as you would like to know?download them for watching and listening at your convenience, and reap the benefits of a broadened perspective!
There you have it. Three simple, easy action steps that can help you expand your thinking and lead you to explore new possibilities as you take the next steps along your journey to unlock your true potential?why not get started today?
