One of our most significant desires is to connect with and unleash our full potential<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We crave to stand in our power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We harbor this desire because it\u2019s innate to us; it\u2019s who we are at our center.<\/span><\/p>\n

We long and desire to embody and live from this place, yet we\u2019ve been conditioned to do the opposite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To shrink, to hide, to not stand out from the crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first word most babies hear is \u201cShh.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As we grow, we understand fitting in is easier than standing out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we step outside the norm of our group, we risk being ridiculed and judged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s better to follow the slice of lemmings than step outside the flow and forge our own path.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our families, friends, and society erode our potential with the slow drip of phrases like,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be cocky.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo one likes a show-off.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWho do you think you are?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRemember where you came from.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And many more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each of these unto themselves is merely a drip; collectively, they create a river, carving beliefs around how we believe we must show up to be safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because that\u2019s all fitting in and hiding are, a bastion of safety in the \u201cunsafe\u201d world outside of our beliefs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At around the midpoint of our lives, we often find ourselves lost, frustrated, disillusioned, and longing for more, even if we\u2019ve reached the pinnacle of professional and materialistic success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We begin to grasp how far we\u2019ve traveled from our true selves and our full potential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We feel it growing inside, but we have no idea how to let it out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It lives, breathes, and rattles the cage of the self-imposed cell we\u2019ve imprisoned it in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming. You cannot believe what it does to the human spirit to maximize your human potential and stretch yourself to the limit.\u201d \u2013 Jim Rohn<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Knowing there\u2019s more to ourselves and our capabilities but not being able to access and express them is one of the most painful experiences of our shared human existence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It gnaws at us from the inside out, and we\u2019ll do what we\u2019ve been conditioned to do to fill the void.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seize the next rung on the corporate ladder, earn more money, and buy more status and prestige.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When none of those work and the success-sized void in our lives grows even more painful, we seek escapes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether at the bottom of a bottle, mindlessly scrolling social media, consuming massive amounts of porn or binging on Netflix, even the golf course can be an escape.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pain is numbed but never gone because nothing outside ourselves will ever fill our inner void.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, far too many fall victim to the belief that this is how life is meant to be and confuse \u201cnumb\u201d with being alive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Residing in the \u201cLand of Just Enough\u201d while our power and full potential remain unfulfilled and untapped, existing but not living.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The amount of regret we experience at the end of our lives is directly proportional to the amount of potential we leave untapped and unexpressed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So how do we tap into our full potential in the next chapter of our lives, stand fully in our power, and live the lives we\u2019ve always imagined?<\/span><\/p>\n

We reinvent ourselves and how we show up in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reinvention is a journey, and these are the first 3 Steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Identify Core-Values<\/b><\/h2>\n

Core values are the foundation of our full potential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We stand firmly in our power and potential when we identify and embody our core values.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We know what we stand for, we know what to say \u201cyes\u201d to, and more importantly, what to say \u201cno\u201d to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We can identify our core values through inquiry; here are 3 powerful questions to examine.<\/span><\/p>\n
