In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. – The Bible: Ecclesiastes 11
I started this series on the
premise that potential blessing does not necessarily translate to productive
blessing. If you would make significant progress in your success path
potentiality must become productivity. We then looked at the things that can
lead to productivity and highlighted vision, goal-setting, and strategy. Today we
shall take a further step as we look into strength in diversity.
If you are like many-a-folks
you would have identified more than one area of your life that has potential
for progress. The problem then has been how to harness all these scattered
potential blessings and utilize them appropriately. The goal for you should not
be shutting some doors and opening the ones that look viable. It should rather
be maximizing the potential in all the areas you have identified.
To maximize all your
potential you must first identify them – individually, uniquely, one after the other.
You cannot maximize what you cannot identify. It must transcend just a feeling.
They must all become itemized and understood.
Second, you must understand
that some things can (indeed should) lead to others. You do not have to be all
that you can possibly be at the same time. This is where strategy comes in to
guide you to make the progress you want to make.
Third, do not fight against
yourself. It is possible to have inner conflicts time and again in your bid to
maximize potential. This will disrupt and slow you down. Your various areas of
potential are not intended to create inner conflict but to bring about all-round
success.
If all the individually
identified areas are being developed, you will have a complete success
experience rather than a “malnourished” one.
