Go beyond

Everything you have ever achieved represents just a fraction of your total potential. The knowledge you utilize is just a small portion of the knowledge that’s available to you. There is strength in you that has never been used. You have ideas which have never been expressed, skills which are not anywhere near being fully utilized.

You have already been very successful in making it this far. Just imagine how much more you could achieve by delving into your untapped possibilities.

If your expectations are based on what you’ve already done, you’ll have trouble seeing all those possibilities. So raise your expectations to better match your incredible potential. Expect more and you’ll become more. Base your expectations on the assumption that everything you have ever done adds up to only five percent of what you’re capable of doing.

Actively pursue that other ninety-five percent. It’s there, waiting for you to believe in it enough to see it and use it. Go beyond the comfortable sameness of your past into the incredible possibilities which now await you.
