Everyone is born with some gifts and talents. How you manage to use them to achieve your dreams is up to you. There are a lot of ways to realize your true potential, but they involve a bit of courage and effort to back them up.
1. Face your fears
Pursuing your dreams isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. In can be
pretty scary when you try to get out of your comfort zone. Sometimes you might not think it’s worth the risk. Before you make an important decision, you need to ask yourself one critical question: “Will I regret not doing this in ten years?”. If the answer is yes, you already know what you have to do.
Making the right decision might cost you money or time that you feel you don’t have. I there’s an activity or hobby out there that you think might change your life, you should forego material things and focus on realizing your true potential. In the end, you’ll thank yourself for it.
2. Smaller steps lead to success

medianet_height = “90”;
medianet_crid = “138427259”;
medianet_versionId = “111299”;
(function() {
var isSSL = ‘https:’ == document.location.protocol;
var mnSrc = (isSSL ? ‘https:’ : ‘http:’) + ‘//contextual.media.net/nmedianet.js?cid=8CU3G4D0M’ + (isSSL ? ‘&https=1’ : ”);
document.write(”);
})();
Every journey begins with a couple of small steps. Rarely does someone leap into something they’re truly passionate about. You have to start off slow in order to figure out where it’s going to lead you.
You will want to figure out your strengths and weaknesses. This is where a lot of people give up because they feel their talent doesn’t match their expectations. You should know that talent the thing that gets you going, but the driving force that leads to success is dedication.
3. Give yourself achievable goals

medianet_height = “90”;
medianet_crid = “138427259”;
medianet_versionId = “111299”;
(function() {
var isSSL = ‘https:’ == document.location.protocol;
var mnSrc = (isSSL ? ‘https:’ : ‘http:’) + ‘//contextual.media.net/nmedianet.js?cid=8CU3G4D0M’ + (isSSL ? ‘&https=1’ : ”);
document.write(”);
})();
A lot of people want to realize their potential as soon as possible. You want to be ahead of all your competition in sports or turn into a rockstar overnight. Everyone knows that it takes time to achieve your most important goals. You should start off humble and you’ll find that it will make you feel better.
Set yourself a couple of milestones that you want to reach by the end of the year. Your training and practice will become much more meaningful when you can actually see yourself inching towards a smaller goal.
4. Jump right into it
Forget everything you know about moderation and restraint. If you’re truly passionate about something, you shouldn’t let anything get in your way towards your hopes and dreams. Sometimes it’s just best to immerse yourself in what you love in order to progress.

medianet_height = “90”;
medianet_crid = “138427259”;
medianet_versionId = “111299”;
(function() {
var isSSL = ‘https:’ == document.location.protocol;
var mnSrc = (isSSL ? ‘https:’ : ‘http:’) + ‘//contextual.media.net/nmedianet.js?cid=8CU3G4D0M’ + (isSSL ? ‘&https=1’ : ”);
document.write(”);
})();
If your training in an individual sport has improved, sign up for a tournament to truly test your nerves and skills. At worst, you’ll be humbled and motivated to try even harder, which is why you have nothing to lose. If your passion is singing or playing instruments, contact a music agency and show them what you got. You only have one life and you don’t want to regret waiting too long for something.
5. Never stop
Every day you make thousands of decisions and one of those decisions might include whether or not you want to dedicate time to your craft. Sometimes you’ll have a busy day and you won’t be sure if you can make it to practice. If there’s anything you should take away from this, it’s that you should make the decision to keep going.
Even if you have to sacrifice an hour of sleep, you should always choose to hone in on your talents. If you improve every single day, progress is going to be inevitable and you’re going to end up succeeding on your own terms.
Conclusion
Talent is one of those valuable assets we always take for granted. If you’ve shown potential in something you love doing, you should take the chance to pursue it. A lot of people give up on their dreams early on, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t make a name for yourself.
