Secrets on How to Achieve Your Highest Potential

Step 1
Mental Preparation is Key

The first secret to reaching your highest potential is that you need to have the right mental preparation. All successful people understand that their primary objective is to focus on mental preparation, and not solely on their physical talents and skills.  With the right mental preparation, you’ll have the discipline to work harder on yourself, to know what is expected of you during areas that you need to grow.  You see, most people have it backwards. They believe that they need to be working harder physically each day and the results will come.  This is not true at all.  In fact, some of the most successful entrepreneurs, CEOs, coaches and athletes are only mediocre in their technical abilities, but they understand the power of the mind in action.
Deep and lasting success stems from the power of the mind. If you understand the power of your mind in action, you can tap into your inner self and maximize your true potential in less time than you would imagine.

            Because thoughts enter our subconscious mind without, us realizing, you’ll need to be mindful of the seeds you sow.  Furthermore, since our thoughts can be contrary to our belief, we need to clear negative thoughts such as fear, hate, jealousy, greed, anger, and pride everyday because they can prevent us from reaching our highest potential. 
We have dominance over our thoughts, and as a result we can sow seeds such as success, prosperity, confidence, joy, dedication and watch them grow to maturity.  In addition, to eliminate negative thoughts, you’ll need to look back each day to see what you did right or wrong, how you could have corrected your errors in judgments if any was made, how can we be better at what we do, who you didn’t see that you should have seen, what discipline you left undone during the last few hour.  This is important and should be done everyday or at least once per week.  This will help you to deal effectively with any unresolved issues so you can maintain your focus over long periods.  As a result, you’ll get, better at what you do, grow stronger mentally and physically and be wiser and prepared for challenge that lies ahead.

Another thing to remember is that the right mental preparation or sowing the right seeds covers everything, studying, meditation, training, sleeping, eating, etc. 
I am not telling you that you should not get the best mentor or coach there is, but what  I’m telling you is that if you are not getting the right mental preparation that enables you to get stronger, wiser and better, you’ll never reach your highest potential.  This is the key to your success; this is what separates winners from losers, or how good you can be. 
Therefore, the first thing you should do is to work on your mind and self, and everything will take care of itself.  Once your mind is right, you’ll have the dedication, motivation and confidence to do what is best for you.

Mental preparation helps one to achieve a well focused, confident and trusting mindset.

So, in a nutshell, the very first secret to reaching your highest potential is getting the mental preparation so you can clear negative thoughts every day.
