Capabilities and Potential -We all have them

Today is the day that you and I realize all of our Capabilities and Potential that we have somewhere deep inside of us. This is truly just about us...not anyone else...and not what anyone else has to say. So close your mind to things that have been said to you that might be negative and hang on while we explore our assets, called Capabilites and Potential for living a great life.

Believe it...you are capable to live life without as much struggle, if you seek the most productive way to live your life. First you believe in yourself! You are here on this earth for a purpose and if you do not know exactly what that purpose is or if you are just not where you want to be; improve your Capabilities...You are here not just because you were born into Mr. and Ms. So and So's family...you have a built in capacity to grow and you are Capable of growing your own destiny.

I think the most important thing we forget about in our life is that we have the capacity to increase our capabilities for whatever it is we decide to do in life. If they are not quite up to par we indulge in becoming greater as we have the aptitude and competence to do anything we wish. There are many people who are satisfied with their current position and there is nothing wrong with been satisfied where you are if you are contented, secure and happy. For those that want or need more...we travel on...

If you are saying..."I can't do anything but work in customer service, I don't have enough education to progress to the sales department, I am lacking." Don't do this to yourself! When you say this, you are saying you do not have the competence or efficiency to grow and that is not true. We can all grow in our capabilities by educating ourselves and studying what we do not know to gain knowledge and respect in whatever field we desire.

Okay, we know we are Capable...now, are we effective. Sure we are...we have either a positive effect in our life's work or we have a negative effect. Our desire is to be positive or it should be. We do not gain momentum being negative. I have to watch myself in writing motivational articles because I do not mean to sound negative, but I realize that when I am trying to help someone who may need to see their shortcomings; it could be construed as negative. My endeavor is only to help someone who might need to look deep within themselves for answers; but in so doing, be positive about it. It is not that easy for me, but I am working on it. We have to find what works best and what does not and improve what needs to be improved.

I believe that we can be more effective if we are sincere in our activities of the moment. I have written a lot about not being in automatic mode and for the most part, we are. If we are not going about our daily activities with consciousness, how can be have a positive effect in what we are doing? Whether it be a Writer, Customer Service, VP of Operations, Manager of Sales, a Sale Person or a Nurse to name a few.

I almost believe that a "Nurse" is like a holy person...why? I believe that most of them have a calling for what they do. They have to love people, they must have compassion, they must be patient, kind, respectful, cautious...you name it, they must have it, to be in this capacity and be effective in what they do. Just like the Doctor. They work hard for their education and they have to work hours other people do not have to work but their reward is great so they endure the hours because they are called and love what they do. (the ones that stand out) That is my opinion. They accomplish more healing with their patients by being positive, even when the patient might be negative and this is an example to anyone who is wanting to be more effective.

To be effective, I do not think we can choose the easy over the complicated. I think we can work better with the complicated if we are happy in what we are doing...we will strive harder and accomplish more...What is easy does not always challenge us to progress further.

This does not have to be about our professional life. It can be our marriage, our children, our extended family or our spiritual self.

Education and democracy have the same goal: the fullest possible development of human capabilities. --Paul Willstone

If human beings are perceived as potentials rather than problems, as possessing strenghts instead of weaknesses, as unlimted rather than dull and unresponsive, then they thrive and grow to their capabilities. --Barbara Bush

One of the unfortunate things about our education system is that we do not teach students how to avail themselves of their subconscious capabilities. --Bill Lear

I don't really feel your brainpower needs boosting. If anything, it needs celebrating, for you already have enough active brain cells inside you to accomplish many great things in your life. --Thomas Armstrong, PhD

Potential and Capabilities are similiar..

Promising, conceivable, implied, inherent, likely,possible, probable,hidden,capacity,capable are only some of the words associated with Potential. I want to follow up with a full hub on our Potential...

This is something we want to explore so that we are getting the most out of our capabilities that the good Lord has given us.

I hope you will join me!
