Unlocking Your Potential: Discussing perceived limitations and how to overcome them

“Your potential is limitless, and with the right perspective you can tap into this power within yourself whenever you like.”

Some of you may feel like you are supposed to be great, and by great, I mean whatever definition of greatness you may have for yourself. but you just don't know how to attain it. Others might feel lost in their search for a comfortable spot in society that they could exist in peacefully. What we all fear, some more than others, is that if we don't figure out our potential and then attain it, in time, we’ll lose our potential. These fears are somewhat justifiable, and can be entirely nerve wracking, with the wrong perspective. Yes, windows of opportunity do close. But your potential is limitless, and with the right perspective you can tap into this power within yourself whenever you like.

  At some point, as we’re all transitioning into becoming an adult, we all swallow this pill, the pill is the realization that there is, and always will be, a measuring stick placed next to your life’s accomplishments. Your successes and failures are tallied up and tallied against each other, and then they are placed against whatever culture you belong to and then your societal worth is determined. Your culture will try to define your worth but a culture is just a system of beliefs. We’re all born into one and we inherit these beliefs and accept them as our own. But in reality, these beliefs were forced upon us. Now maybe you transitioned from one sub culture to another, moved to a new city or country, you made some new friends, got a new job or got promoted and you found a new measuring stick, better suited to your perceived strengths. Now, suddenly, you are more valuable in the eyes of your friends and family who may or may not know who you really are. well congratulations. You have found a way to survive,and potentially thrive, within a system. I mean that is really what this is, survival within a system.

“The systems in place are meant to cripple us by offering the illusion of security and class in exchange for perpetual busy-ness where people are too busy to even consider their own hearts”

 If your culture determines your livelihood, then reaching your potential can be life or death. Surviving within a system could actually be as urgent as life or death for some but for most of us, the systems in place are meant to cripple us by offering the illusion of security and class in exchange for perpetual busy-ness where people are too busy to even consider their own hearts. For many of us, such a system is a relief. Simply because for too many of us, these systems that we are born into do so much of the work for us, they determine our value and our place in a society, so that we don't have to do it ourselves. And if you follow the rules long enough, these systems can provide a safety net  if you are willing to sacrifice your individuality and the most precious thing you own, your time in this life.

The truth is, today we are living in a golden era, with more possibilities than ever before in modern times. But still, It is just so easy to maintain an average life, working everyday at a lifeless job without a clue as to why it is your work so hard only just to pay the next bill. These systems have created a societal plateau where the average can still survive while the exceptional have the power to break through the matrix and finally design their own lives. The exceptional are actually no smarter than the rest of us, they have only accepted the simple truths that they have always known and that is this. The measuring stick does not exist, except only in our minds. 

The exceptional in this world are not the rich and the powerful in my eyes. Not the CEOs or the power players or the money hungry. The truly exceptional people in this world, can simply wake up grateful everyday because they understand that they have and have always had everything they needed so they no longer need a dream to chase. They have freed themselves of toxic beliefs and expectations that were never their job to uphold and have allowed themselves the freedom to wake up and feel alive and present in the moment. Free from baggage of the past, free from fears of the future. The exceptional refuse to live as though they are lacking, chasing what they believe they dont have and should have. When you believe that you are lacking, your reality will reinforce that same belief. The exceptional no longer need to compete or compare as this also reinforces the feeling of lack, your path is not their path, your time is not their time. The exceptional wake every morning believing that they are full of love and abundance ready to commit to their labor of love giving their gifts to their world everyday because thats what they want to do and nothing else.

 “Some of you here may just know exactly what the world needs, but society doesn't know it yet,or may not even care to understand it at all.  which means that society’s measuring stick should be meaningless to you”

The truth is the expectations that you feel about what you should be in this world and what you can and cannot do are all entirely self-imposed. your thoughts are absolutely creating your reality and your experiences will continue to mirror only what you believe you deserve and the beliefs that were forced upon you for better or worse.  No matter where you go or who you meet, so long as your perception remains the same you will be met with the same obstacles over and over until you finally learn your lesson.

 The measuring stick in western culture is for test takers, and for the people who live in their heads. The measuring stick is not for the game changers, the artists, the people who live in their hearts. Some of you here may just know exactly what the world needs, but society doesn't know it yet,or may not even care to understand it at all.  which means that society’s measuring stick should be meaningless to you. You now have to have the courage to find true value within yourself, and more importantly, find the value in your own ideas and passions, and be disciplined enough to nurture them. Because when you finally ditch society's measuring stick, you will quickly realize that your heart has been trying to tell you what you truly desire your entire life, maybe you weren't listening for some time. Maybe you felt you were not allowed to listen to your heart growing up. Maybe you were taught to feel ashamed of what your heart had to say. 

When you deny your heart, your heart will hurt you and your reality will punish you. The more you ignore your heart the more you experience negative emotions. Understand that These emotions are not bad but only proof that you are still alive and that there is still hope. You may feel Despair, grief, anger, regret, depression, and shame. Trust me, i have been there and I know the pain. If you are trapped in a life that's not yours and feel as if you are unable to honor your heart, overtime your heart will become harder and harder to hear and you will feel less alive. You'll become a zombie, completely detached from your heart among many of the walking dead, alive but not living.

“The road to complete transformation is tough and soon you'll realize that so many have walked down this very same road, in fact millions are walking right next to you right now”

Many of us were taught at a young age to suppress our negative emotions when really they are like street signs directing you to your truth. But still We hide them all and the unexpressed emotions and beliefs become trapped not only in our unconscious minds but in our physical bodies. These unexpressed emotions will manifest as sickness and soreness in your body and brain eventually leading to cancer and emotional and physical addictions. Unexpressed emotions are the ultimate key to unlocking your personal power simply because you have been using so much of your energy everyday attempting to suppress these emotions. That same energy spent suppressing the emotions that you are so ashamed of can be better spent propelling you towards the life that you want to live. These unexpressed emotions wont go away on their own but they will continue to rob you of your daily energy & potential. If you want to access the power that you know you have, You need to let it all go to get your power back! Only then will you finally be able to hear your heart and feel light enough to move towards your heart's desire without your emotional baggage dragging you down and pulling you back into your own personal purgatory that is your emotional comfort zone.

Now if you've gotten this far seeking to transform, and you can acknowledge that your thoughts may actually be holding you back... and you can admit that the life that you are living right now, however dissatisfying, might just be exactly the life that you secretly believe you deserve, then congratulations, you're already on your way to personal liberation and I commend you, in fact I love you.. Not in a weird way, but just know that there's love here. The road to complete transformation is tough and soon you'll realize that so many have walked down this very same road, in fact millions are walking right next to you right now, as you walk past them and start to notice they are no different from you and realize they are all simply reflections of yourself, I hope you love what you see. 

Welcome to the Age of Aquarius and the collective awakening happening right before your eyes.

Ok so now what?

Where do we go from here?

How exactly do we release these unexpressed emotions

Easier said than done right?

In truth you can go wherever you want from here

Please think on that

Or rather, don't think

Just understand it to be true

If intuition hints that this is true to you.

This is how you heart “feels”

You heart doesn't remind you of past mistakes

Your heart does not strategize

It does not fear, it does not consider

In every waking moment

When a split decision is to be made

Your heart will not tell you stories based on your past experience or even your own beliefs and doubts

That's what the brain will do every time

That is because the ego lives in the brain and is separate from the heart

Your heart will simply just know what is true to you, if you are listening.

Are you listening?

And it will tell you what's true for you before you even had a chance to ask

Please bare with me

Sometimes i just get lost in the flow but people never seem to mind

 as much as i always believed they would

What does your brain believe your own potential to be

What does your heart feel about that belief?

Who taught you what to believe?

And Does your heart agree with those beliefs?

If you haven't listened to your heart in a while

You couldn't even trust your own answer

When you ignore you heart for long enough

Its gets harder and harder to hear

And as consistent as our hearts desires may be

If your heart conflicts with your beliefs

You will refuse to hear your hearts desire

 Again again again… and again

Even as you suffer for it.

We have all been born into a system of beliefs that were never truly our own, 

To unlock your potential, you need to unlearn these self limiting beliefs, and establish a new set of beliefs that affirms your limitless potential and embraces your hearts desires with open arms, there is nothing you cant do in this world. To truly liberate yourself and tap into this limitless potential, you need to express your unexpressed emotions! Your trapped emotions will never go away on their own, you need to let them free however you can! CRY! Get angry! Suffer! Express gratitude! Make sure that all whom you love are entirely sure that you really do love them, there should be no room for uncertainty! Let your unexpressed emotions free then let them go and then  Feel the lightness in your body and spirit after you have finished purging, and then when you are ready, you can begin to effortlessly move into your heart's desire with full belief and confidence in your ability.

Your potential is limitless.
