We’ve all found ourselves at the bottom at least once in our lives. We thought that everything’s ruined and there’s no going back. The truth is – there’s always going back. Moreover, it takes one to fall many times and feel like everything’s ruined to succeed in life.

If you feel like you have so much more potential in life, you need to do something about it. Understand that things won’t align as you want them on their own. You must put in a lot of effort and make things work.

The effort consists of lots of changes. If you’re not at the place you want to be right now, it means that you have a lot of things to change – starting with your mindset and ending with the material items around you that might be holding you back.

Here are the five crucial steps to take if you want to thrive and reach your full potential in life.

1. Create a healthy routine

Pediatricians claim that babies and children are the happiest when their parents set a routine for them. If they have a precise time when they are supposed to eat, sleep, and play, they’ll grow happily. It’s similar with adults.

If you don’t already have a plan, this might be the right time to do it. Set up an exact time when you’ll wake up and have breakfast, set a time when you’ll go jogging and have a fixed time to go to bed. Ensure this isn’t after midnight, as your body needs 6-8 hours of sleep to function properly.

Avoid unhealthy foods, alcohol, and drugs. Having a healthy body means your brain will also work perfectly, and this is crucial for success. Set a routine that will be best for you, as this is the foundation for becoming successful.

2. Customize your home to fit your persona

Did you know that the place we live in symbolizes our mentality? Just look around right now, and if you see things you don’t like, you’re not walking towards success.

Do you have an old ottoman that you hate, but you’re not throwing it away because you feel like there’s no need? Little details like this make your life. You’re bound to them, and they create who you are. That little ottoman is you – you don’t want to throw it away and get a new one because that means you’re throwing away the old you. You’re scared of the change.

Instead, it’s best to invest in your environment, as this will create not just a new home but a new you. Invest in a new life!

3. Surround yourself with people you love

In the office, we can’t choose who we’re going to work with. What we can choose is who we’re going to spend time with after working hours. Every single one of us has toxic people around. You need to remove these people and surround yourself only with those you love.

Living in a toxic relationship with a person that’s dragging you down can be disastrous for you and the success you’re dreaming of. Sometimes it seems irrational, but you must lay some sacrifices to grow. That’s how life is, and you need to accept this as a fact.

Focus on your friends and family that you love. Spend more time with them after professional duties. Have lunch with your favorite colleague, or go to a park with your children. The laughter and enjoyment will fill you with positive energy, which is crucial for being productive.

“Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.” – W. Clement

4. Reprogram your thoughts

Did you know that we can literally program our minds? Nerves inside our brain love following patterns. They can be programmed to make your brain focus only on the things you like. Neurobiologists claim that this is easy to do if you put a little effort into it.

What you need to do is spend at least two weeks of constant thinking about success, a healthy lifestyle, being strong, and all the things you want to achieve. Your mind will start believing in this, and once you fully reprogram it, you’ll no longer focus on negative stuff.

Issues and obstacles that hit you on a daily basis will no longer affect you as before. If you reprogram your mind to be convinced that you’re destined to succeed, and only good things await you in the future, be sure that this is precisely what’s going to happen.

5. Accept challenges and be afraid of nothing

Do you know why most young athletes don’t make it to the big leagues? You often wonder how street basketball players are so amazing, and the NBA has players that seem much less skilled than these guys. The answer is – persistence.

Lots of people give up on the first road bump they encounter. One failure destroys their spirit, and they quit on their dreams. But, challenges are there to make the selection. Not everyone can be up for the job to become the best. Only those who know how to face challenges and overcome the obstacles will make it.

That means you need to accept challenges as part of life. Obstacles are only there to prove your worth – they mustn’t take you off the path.

Success is personal. It is different for everyone out there. You need to think about what it means for you and start building it for yourself. However, some things are universal, and you must implement them in your life.

A routine and healthy life is a must. Living in a perfect home and being surrounded by the people you love too. Reprograming your thoughts to think positively will help you tremendously, and understanding that life’s hard and lots of obstacles are going to come along the way is also helpful. Follow these steps, and success is inevitable.

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.

I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.

I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.

As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.

I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness.

Everything legal must come through the matrix

I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.

The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.

Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.

The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be.

Every matrix has an incubation process

While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.

In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.

What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.

However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.

Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time.

“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier

You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time

When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.

The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?

First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.

In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.

For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.

For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.

Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.

You must manifest your greatness

As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.

I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.

Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.

When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
