6 Steps to Increase Self Potential



1. Extend insight:

Look at life with eyes of your heart. Do not see your current conditions: income barely fit, the way business is still in place, yet the mortgage is paid off, an old car in the garage of the house, etc.. But, look at yourself you have achieved your dreams, despite conditions that you experience today. You must have a clear mental picture of what you want to achieve. This mental image must be a breath in every aspect of your life, every word, every deed, to soak in your subconscious. Hang out with successful people in your field. Ask for their suggestions and opinions. Learn their mindset. Read motivational books and biographies about people who are successful both in Indonesia and in the world: In Indonesia there are Tanadi Santoso, Purdie E Chandra, Gede Prama, Ciputra, Bob Sadino, etc.. While abroad are Brian Tracy, Bill Gates, Soichiro Honda, Henry Ford, Zig Ziglar, Robert Kyosaki, Sam Walton, Warren Buffet, etc.. Listen to audiobooks or tape them. In the budget of your expenses each month, always give priority to buy books and tapes them than other secondary needs. In fact, in the extreme, there are business people who say: Buy the book from the food. By purchasing a book, you become able to find food every day. Compared to buying food, which will expire in one day.

2. Develop a healthy self-image

How the world gives value for yourself, depending on the value you give to yourself. So it is very important to have a healthy image of oneself. Have confidence in every word and action. The fact that you will never shot higher than what you think about yourself.Perform the following habits, which can build self-confidence:Always run 25% faster.Always sit in the front row, both in churches, mosques, meetings, etc.Always express opinions on the forums or meetings.Always neatly dressed and polite.Always smiling and taking the initiative to meet with others.

3. Always think positive and say every day

Found a lot of cases, people who have the ability, talent, or even extraordinary intelligence, but his life just plain ordinary. There is nothing wrong with their potential. The answer lies in "the way they think." Mind that guides your potential, is more important than the potential itself. With a positive mindset, the skills, talents and your intelligence will evolve, and "channeled" to the right is used to take advantage of every opportunity. In contrast with a negative mindset, you will use the skills, talents, and your intelligence to find the "weakness" or anything negative at every opportunity. And, as a result: you do not take any positive action against the opportunities that exist.To help you form the habit of positive thinking every day, then read one of the following books on a regular basis for 15 minutes each day:1. Thinking and Big-inclined - David. J. Shwartz2. Books by John Maxwell3. Positive Thinking - Norman Vincent Pale.

4. Do not let the burden of the past. Remove the burden of the past, and continue your life:

Once, there were two monks on a pilgrimage came to a path crossing the river. They saw a very pretty girl, and plump with good clothes and a long skirt, standing on the riverbank. It was obvious that he wanted to cross the river, but do not know what to do because the river was deep and he did not want to mess skirt length. Seeing this young woman looked confused, then ask the senior monk told the young woman they will be, "what makes you seem confused? The young woman replied:" Father ... I want to cross over to the banks of the river over there, but how can I do without making my long skirt wet ? ". Monk senior calmly replied:" Incidentally, we both also will cross over there, let me carry you across the river ". And, without a lot of talking, this senior monk, carrying her on his back and down on dry land in across the river.
Then the two monks are passed to continue the journey. But an hour later the other monks complained: "Obviously not right to touch a woman, is contrary to our doctrine of contiguity with women. How can you violate the rules for the monks it? "
Senior monks, who had been holding the girl, keep going, and he calmly said, "I've been down the river an hour ago, why are you still hold him until now? "
We too often, too. We're up to now, continue to carry the burden of disappointment, failure, jealousy, revenge, or even ridicule of friends about the physical form, which occurs far in the past. As with any aircraft that can not take off due to excess charge, we should put all the burden, and fly high in life. . .

5. Find your strength in the worst situation in your life

We have the attitude: I may have fallen several times in this life, but I will not continue to stay down there. We've all faced challenges, or experiencing the unpleasant events in life. You may be imposed from the outside, but the key is learning to live victoriously to rise from within. The winner was not a super, or a great person, but the winner is the person who got up one more than the failures.

6. Consciously choose to be happy today

Happiness is a choice. When you wake up, you can choose rejoice and enjoy today or thinking about "ideal condition" that you can not have or you achieved so far .... It's your choice. If you let circumstances dictate your happiness, then you risk losing the peace and blessing of God that actually you can have each day. Most people have a happiness that is "conditional". I would be happy if my children rank first in school. What if your child fails to reach rank 1? I would be happy if I promoted at the office this year. What if it misses, and even your close friends who turned out to be promoted? I would be happy if you achieve personal goals in both business nor Mr work, etc.. Indeed we must have hope, goals, dreams of our future. Because that's what will be the spirit and the "fuel" in carrying out our daily activities. However, you should not put your happiness there. Always expect the best results, and on the other hand, you mentally prepare for the worst. Happiness lies not in the achievement, but rather on the "journey" in the achievement of our dreams.
Starting today, make a commitment to yourself: "I am happy because I am". Enjoy your every breath, and each of your activities. Enjoy every minute of your life, whatever happens. And when you've done, not only you will feel better, but also will encourage your faith in God to work miracles in your life ..
