EPISODE NOTES
Potential: Potential is having or showing the capability to become or develop into something in the future. Each and every one of us holds a unique potential. The result of potential does not exist yet. It is up to you whether or not it ever will.
Potential energy: Energy can be stored as potential energy. For example, if your stretch a rubber band or expand a spring, as long as the force is not released, this potential energy is stored in the object. I believe that there is potential energy present in us when we feel inspired and motivated to do something that is important to us. Potential energy is the nudge that promotes a motivated, driven, and creative state. When we have a hold of a strong intrinsic love for something like a passion, profession, or mission it becomes our unique potential that we are meant to share with the world.
Sometimes, all it is is a mental barrier that is keeping you from taking action and turning your potential energy into kinetic energy; energy in motion. You may fear failure, judgment and other unforeseen outcomes. Getting sucked into a negative mindset fueled by insecurity and fear sets you up for failure by creating a negative outcome before it even happens, this is a form of self-sabotage.
The definition of sabotage in this context is when someone intentionally or subconsciously hinders the progress, happiness, or self-esteem of themselves or others. Sabotage can come in a variety of forms. Sabotage can originate from within as a form of self-sabotage or come from other people as a form of external sabotage.
Let’s break down the 3 types or sabotage that I feel are the main villains that everyone will face in their lives. Self-doubt, perfectionism and external pessimism. Sustaining an internal environment that invites creativity and authenticity and supports your self-esteem takes effort. You must actively promote a positive mindset to set yourself up for success.
Self doubt: “Whether you believe you can or you can’t, you are right.” Our thoughts regarding ourselves materialize into our reality. The cycle of self-doubt manifests into the physical reality which leads to the accumulation of more reason to self-doubt. Instead of allowing your feelings of lack to stop you, you can use them to inspire you to try even harder. Use them as your fuel to overcome your insecurities and obstacles. Having drive and determination will carry you halfway towards any goal. Use them as your fuel to overcome your insecurities and obstacles. You are just as capable of learning and evolving as anyone else.
Perfectionism: Leave perfection behind! treat yourself like someone you love. You would never expect perfection from someone that you love because you know that it is unrealistic. You would see their hard work and diligence as honorable. Why would you expect yourself to obtain perfection? Your hard work and diligence is honorable too, I hope that you can see that. You become impressionable to perfectionism when you believe that your self-worth is tied to your tangible achievements. It is natural and healthy to want success, but you must believe that your value as a person is weighed by much more than your achievements and status. Value the traits that make you proud of who you are; your integrity, your positivity, your resilience, your consistency, and your kindness. Your achievements are just the cherry on top.
External pessimism: When others have such a vocal opinion on the things you do, and the things that you give your time to, it often time stems from their insecurity of their own inability to put themselves out there and chase their own ambitions. You become the victim to the projection of their own insecurity. People who feel bad about themselves want to pull others down to their level, so they do not feel so bad. With this insight it can help you to block their projection. It is not yours to carry. All it is, is a test of your diligence. Will you give up on your dreams or will you persevere. Staying true to your craft and deepening your knowledge is where your attention is required. Keep a hold of your whits, do not allow others to bring you down to their level. They want your reaction, they want your weakness, they want you to break.
Set boundaries with others
Boundaries: The limits we set on our time, space, emotions, relationships, and energy. They help up define our needs, expectations, and what we are and are not responsible for. You are not responsible for other people's opinions. Communicate your boundaries clearly and directly with others when it comes to your goals the things that are important to you. Stand your ground, consistently uphold your boundaries by making decisions with unwavering values.
