“Every successful person I’ve met has a strong sense of his or her unique ability and aspirations. They’re leaders in their own lives, and they dare to pursue their dreams on their own terms.”, says Maria Bartiromo. Maria is a TV journalist currently with CNBC.
You will never be able to reach your potential if you are doing work you do not enjoy. When you can invest yourself in your passion, minimize distractions, and allow yourself to grow, you can fulfill your destiny.
Each of us are required to do some things that are not our passion. Many things in life are required. Many tasks come with responsibility. To be more successful minimize the time that you take for requirements and maximize your time with your passion.
According to John Maxwell, to change your course you can think in terms of three steps.
1. Awareness: You cannot change without becoming aware that you need to change. What do you need to change?
2. Action: There is no better time to start than right now. What action is required for you to change your focus?
3. Accountability: Become accountable for your goals. Make your goals public. Find a person that can be your accountability partner. Find someone that can help you reach your goals.
Find your passion and then align your actions to reach your potential. John Maxwell said, “People say there are two great days in a person’s life: the day you were born and the day you discover why.” There is no better time to start than right now.
