Word to the Wise...Maximize Your Potential! 

I read an article in Ebony magazine that really got me to thinking. I've been striving to try new things and take risks all to maximize my potential but am I really doing it.

The author of the article suggests '7 Key Decisions to Help Maximize Your Potential'. Take a look....

1. Don't Downsize Your Potential
      -Often the things we didn't do is what we regret the most; do not let that stop you

2. Focus On Solutions, Not Problems
      -Self explanatory yet easier said than done

3. Choose To Be Authentic
     -Stop putting up a facade and just be you;
     - Don't let your character be misleading and people describe you in so many ways that you forget who                                       you are yourself 

4. Choose Courage Over Fear

      -If we let our fears rule our lives we may never experience the life intended for us to live 

5. Choose Relationships Wisely & Nature Them Intentionally 

     -Let go of deteriorating friendships and relationships

     -Build relationships with other with the intention to be a great friend and mate

     -Don't start relationships with people based off what you can do for each other 

6. Actively Seek Feedback & Grow From It

     -I always say there is nothing wrong with a little self-evaluation 

     -Ask others' advice for how you can change in different aspects of your life

     -But don't ask if you don't want to listen or improve on their counsel 

7. Know Your Purpose & Take Daily Action In The Direction of Your Vision

    -Can't help too much there because I am still seeking for a direct answer on my purpose and figuring out my vision for a life fulfilled

Now those are the some tips to help you maximize your potential with a little feedback from yours truly. Don't just read, ACT on IT! I am!
