Are You Giving Your Dreams the Best That You Have to Offer?

Hi, Steemians!

You hear a lot of people talk about the word ‘potential’, but the boundaries of that definition have always been ambiguous and vague.

What is the best that you can do?

Have you ever found out your peak potential and efficiency in doing something?

How much have you pushed the limits? Have you ever tried to find your breaking point?

All people, every human being to ever live, have had dreams of their own. But only a handful of people get the chance to realize those dreams.

How were these small group of people any different than the rest of us?

Let us forget about your daily routine and your productivity in a moment. Let us forget about today, yesterday, or the day before that. Imagine that you wake up tomorrow and go to look at yourself in front of the mirror.

This is the first thing that you are going to do.

Will you be able to look yourself in the eye and say that this is the best you could be? This is the best you could do and become? If the answer is yes, you are obviously lying to yourself.

Because your peak potential and the best you have to offer is not a fixed state of performance. It is constantly evolving and growing.

Everyday when you wake up to go through your routine, you are training your mind and your soul for what is to come next.
Ask yourself this question: What are you training yourself for? Is it going to be enough? Is it the best you could possibly do?

Having the resilience to do some things everyday in spite of their difficult nature is something that many of us fail to do.

If all it takes for you to grow beyond everybody else is just a single hour, you need to be willing to dedicate that extra hour and reach your top potential.

Think about it like this: There is always someone out there who has the same dreams as you. I don’t know what exactly it is, but trust me, it is the same dream. He wants to go to Harvard University.

He wants to be a champion of the NBA. He wants to be a successful entrepreneur who can change millions of lives. He wants to be the next prime minister. He wants to be the richest producer in Hollywood.

That person has the dream. Imagine that he is constantly working and struggling to take that position away from you. There is always going to be competition in almost everything.

How much do you really want the thing that you want?

Do not let that person take your place. Do not let anyone take your place. Put in the extra hour.Put in the extra work. Push yourself. Push your limits. Everything else can wait. But be sensible, as you always are.

Push towards a path that will eventually bring about a day when you wake up and stand in front of the mirror, look at yourself and say, ‘I am proud of this guy!’

Practice, struggle, work, maintain, and continue hoping. It is the only good fight there is.

At the end, you will find yourself with everything that you have ever wanted, and it will be worth all the trouble that you went through to get there!
