You Have Uncommon Potential

I’m curious if this resonates for you as much as it does for me. My whole life I’ve known that I was born differently. I’ve always had this belief that I’m capable of truly exceptional things, and that I’m meant to be a leader that operates at the highest levels of business and philanthropy. I know there are a lot of great people out there, but I’ve always felt like I have something most people don’t possess and have a conviction that I’m going to do great things. If you’re ambitious, hard-working, and deeply invested in your self-improvement, you know what I’m talking about. 

If what I’m describing is something you’ve always felt but never had the words to describe, let me give them to you: You have uncommon potential. You have the intelligence, talents, and great ideas that could truly shake the world. You have an ‘it factor’ most people don’t where you can open doors and make things happen that most can’t. The ceiling for the impact, influence, and income you can have is tiers above what most people can dream to achieve. You have a gift and were born to be the exception. You are special.

And it can be confusing when you whole-heartedly know what you’re capable of yet you’re still not as far along as you thought you would be by now. I personally know this feeling well. Although I’ve made a lot of progress, I still feel like there’s a gap between where I am and where I know in my heart I belong. That I have everything I need to become a top 1% changemaker, playing in the big leagues with the big hitters, but I’m still not there yet. 

When there’s a disconnect like this, there are only two things you can do:

1) You can choose to live an average life. There’s nothing wrong with that if that’s what you want. There’s so much goodness, beauty, and simplicity in it that so many people enjoy. And it doesn’t make them any worse or inferior to those who achieve more. But I just don’t think I could be happy that way. I have such a big vision for the life I want to live, and feeling like I’ve settled for anything less would consume me.

2) You can recommit to bridging the gap. Rather than letting the call of your greater potential become a whisper, you step in and prove it right. You get more uncomfortable and play a bigger game. Whether it materializes into anything or not, you know that at the end of your life you’ll have fewer regrets because you tried your best.

I’ve chosen the second option for myself. I know that I’m capable of so much more, that I possess an uncommon potential that can change the world in ways most can’t, and I’m committed to seeing it through. You don’t need to already have results to choose this path… You just need to honor the inner-knowing that greatness has been planted inside your heart.

I don’t have it all figured out, but I have my own process that I use to hold myself to a higher standard, that brings out my very best and creates the conditions for my uncommon potential to come out and be built upon. And if you want to stop feeling like you’re falling behind where you know you could be and instead start impacting the world in a way that very few can… Check out the process I use to accelerate my growth - It just might be just what you need too.
