When you learn to face your fears, you’ll move to a new threshold. You begin to move towards the empowering direction as opposed to a dis-empowering direction. Ultimately, this will lead to an empowered self. An empowered self is a very nice status to achieve. But how do you arrive at your true potential?
The surprising thing is that achieving your true potential is a journey that combines building self esteem, self worth and love for yourself. Self esteem is a verb, a doing word, so it requires that you go beyond your fears. And when someone expresses their fears, you’ll most likely follow them down the road of ”what ifs”. It’s never a good idea to team up your fears.
Always remember that fear is crucial in your growth, and is a necessary learning tool. Fear is also your best teacher. It is the gateway into a meaningful change.
So how do you travel the road to achieving your full potential?
Here are tips on how to achieve your true potential
1. Recognize fear
You have to recognize fear and the fact that it’s real to you. That’s because if you deny it, it will not make things better because denial is still fear in the sense that it’s stuffed in a less noticeable place. You cannot afford to conceal fear with your own denial. It prevents you from doing what you should do to reach your goals.
2. Limiting beliefs
Once you recognize the limiting beliefs, you can choose to think in the opposite direction to empower yourself. You have to ask questions along the way. For example, ask whether the choice your going to make will bring a difference in your life or that of others. Ask yourself why you’d want to take some action, and whether or not it’s in line with your purpose.

3. Focus on what you want
If you look back, you’ll focus on the things of the past, and that’s exactly what you’ll end up creating. Watch your thoughts and fears. Again, remember that you are not your own thoughts. Only let them glide you like a cloud in the sky.
4. Make it a personal game
To reach your full potential, you have to make specific steps that are measurable and achievable as well. Get creative and do what you think you love and is contributing positively to your goals. You have to make it feel like some personal game.
5. Comfort is your enemy
Comfort will not yield possibilities. So when you’re moving to the next stage and you’re feeling uncomfortable, you should be happy. The ultimate lesson here is to rejoice that you’re headed in the right direction.
Don’t limit yourself with fear. It’s not real; it only becomes apparent when you let it ruin your goals. The tips above can help you realize your full potential in a gradual process. Remember it doesn’t happen in one night.
