Today’s quote is indeed a sobering thought, because all too often, many of us are either cruising or struggling to keep on top of all of our responsibilities.

Neither of these scenarios allows us to present our best selves, and live up to our potential. In the former, when we are just cruising, it tends to be all about routine and predictability, and not having to exert ourselves too much – if we can help it. In the latter, when we are trying to keep all the balls in the air, we feel that there isn’t the time or bandwidth to attend to any of these areas perfectly, but just to try to do enough.

However, even in those situations, and everything else in between, when you ask yourself the question, “Am I living up to my potential?”, there is an opportunity for transformation. You can move from operating on autopilot or feeling overwhelmed, to becoming more intentional and questioning whether in the present moment you are giving your very best effort.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• In my life these days, am I cruising or struggling to keep on top of all of my responsibilities?
• To what degree am I giving my very best effort in my current circumstances?
• In this very moment, am I living up to my potential?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!!
