I can't fulfill my potential

Five reasons why this is difficult. Part 1

"I feel I can do more!"

"I don't know how to find my place in life."

"I can't fulfill my potential."

I regularly hear such statements at consultations. Quite often, these words sound from capable, intelligent people with a deep inner world. But at the moment they feel sadness and grief, confusion from not understanding what to do with it.

It is my deep conviction that if a person is concerned about the issue of his / her own realization, this means that he / she has an actualized request for changes in his / her life, but he / she lacks:

• knowledge of how to do it,
• support,
• activating and enhancing the necessary skills,
• transformation or expansion of "restraining" attitudes, life concepts.

It's like a volcano inside which lava is already seething, but in order for this volcano not to fall asleep, but to erupt lava (talent) to the surface, it is necessary to release the necessary energy to realize your outstanding natural abilities.

In my professional experience, correct, purposeful psychological work and active steps in the outside world give the desired result!

The first step towards realizing your talent is realizing the problem.

Five reasons why it is difficult to reach your potential:

Reason # 1. Not understanding what the talent is or "I don't know what I want to do."

This position is most often observed in two types of people - some are those who are interested in everything, others are exhausted, tired of various jobs and want to be told what to do next. According to my observations, both the first and the second have problems with feeling themselves and their own boundaries. I have heard many times from such clients:

• "I don't feel myself." What are the consequences of such a sense of self? This leads to the fact that a person is ready to deal with the affairs of others, to partially live someone else's life.
• "I don't have time for myself." As a rule, I hear such a statement from people who take responsibility for solving the affairs of their husbands / wives, parents, sisters / brothers, relatives, friends. Also at work they are actively involved in various projects and then in a "strange" way become responsible for the results of other people

When we delve into the work on this request, it turns out that the person is running away from the inner emptiness and does not understand how to fill it.

As a rule, inquiries about the disclosure and realization of talent are quite voluminous and require deep, gradual psychological work. As we delve deeper into this topic, we are dealing with pain, sadness, despair, and fatigue. At the same time, when the request for change is sincere, I see a powerful potential that is gradually released. There is a systematic transformation from the state of the embryo into lush flowering and then into excellent fruiting. I am deeply convinced that if a person does not betray his dream, does not deviate from the path of working on himself, he will certainly reveal and realize his potential.

In the second part of the article, you can familiarize yourself with another important reason that hinders and complicates the realization of your potential.
