“To uncover your true potential you must first find your own limits and then you have to have the courage to blow past them.” Picablo Street
This blog post is going to be a compilation of my thoughts on a quote which I heard at the Go-Pro Recruiting Mastery event in Las Vegas and the message at church this morning.
The message this morning was all about giving yourself permission, allowing yourself to draw closer to God, to take things to the next level, to not holding yourself back. Then I was reviewing my notes from Go-Pro and came across probably my favorite quote from the whole conference, it’s the one above in bold.
In the journey to finding our potential and blowing past our limits we must give ourselves permission. This isn’t a one day choice but rather a daily choice which will lead to a lifestyle. When we have made the habit of giving ourselves permission to blow by our limits then, and only then will we begin to see our true potential.
Many times we underestimate the power of the mind, but everything starts with a decision, starts with giving ourselves permission to pursue whatever it is. Then our true potential is found in continuing to pursue what we’ve given ourselves permission to. That decision comes from within us, it’s not based on external circumstances but rather an internal mindset. When we stop trying to blame our success on our external circumstances and rather accept that the power to succeed is within us, we will truly begin to see our true potential and blow by our limits.
