The upper limits of your potential
May 13, 2024We truly don’t know the limits of our potential.
No one thought the 4-minute mile was humanly possible until Roger Banister hit the3:59 mark (with only a fraction of a second to spare) in 1954.
The following month 2 more runners followed suit.
The following year 300 broke the barrier.
Now, it’s commonplace.
The same is true for you and me.
No 4-minute miles here…
… but we truly don’t know what we’re capable of. And, as a result we often impose false limitations, bounds God doesn’t place upon us. In fact, He wants us to break through them.
Here are three ways to push towards your higher potential.
🙏 Pray
Think about it…
Have you ever actually asked God what you’re capable of?
Perhaps you CAN start the business, write the book, do the project, go back to school, learn the trade, etc…
🚌 People
“Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future,” someone said.
And— “You’re the sum total of the books you read the the 5 people with whom you spend the most time.”
Each of these statements affirm that relationships make a difference (for good and bad).
🎓 Learn
Read a book or take a course or attend a seminar or do SOMETHING to expose yourself to bigger ideas— especially in an area of your giftedness and calling.
💪Exercise
Movement creates “brain growth” and causes you to actually increase your intellectual and creative capacity.
Have room to improve in any of these areas?
We all do.
Just pick ONE and take ONE action step in it today!
