Most people reach the end of their lives never reaching their full potential. There are several reasons that people don't reach their full potential in their career and the relationships they have in their lives.
Too many people settle for the status quo. People that don't go to college or a school of trade feel that they can not be more than the average $10 - $12 an hour job. One reason that people do not reach their full potential is because they are comfortable. They keep themselves inside a comfort zone and never come out. They put themselves in a box. It is easier to stay inside the box than to go after what you want and make things uncomfortable. When we were children we talk about being a doctor, lawyer, or a pro-ball player. We start off with big goals that few ever go and achieve. To most they become unrealistic, and we give up. Why can't you be that doctor, lawyer, or pro-ball player$%: The only one holding you back is you.
Another reason is for fear of failure. How many things or jobs we don't go after for fear of failure$%: You can not be a failure by not succeeding at something you go after. You are only a failure if you don't try. People don't go to college or trade school because they don't think they are smart enough or they don't have time. You may have a family to support and work a full time job and now think an education is out of reach. It is never too late. You can take one class at a time. It may seem like it will take too long, but every class is one step closer to reaching your potential. Too many people look for instant gratification instead of looking at the big picture of the future.
Another reason and to me the main one is fear. There are so many people that don't have the jobs they want or the relationships they want because of fear. They are too afraid too step out and go after what they want due to fear of what other people might think or say and some because they feel they are just not good enough. We allow other people to control what we do instead of going with our heart. So people will end up without the career and relationships they could of had if they had not given into fear. Fear can cause people to miss out on reaching their full potential in every area of their lives.
We need to surround ourselves with people who will bring out the best in us. People who will encourage us to be all that we can be. We need to get out of relationships with people that are negative and just want to settle. Go after everything you dream and want. It is never too late to reach your full potential.
