Call Me A Woman – YES OR NO, Are You Living Up to Your Potential?

Something I discovered a long time ago when I was a young mom, was that I had a tremendous responsibility before me. Not only was I raising a child, but I also was raising the next generation. Now that can seem like a heavy burden to carry or it can be a joyful journey. What do you say we help each other create joyful journeys?

About twenty years ago, I created a course for parents called Parenting With Soul, with a roadmap to more joy and fulfillment, family by family, and a world filled with joyful and fulfilled people. The busyness of life seemed to be zapping my own joy and fulfillment and I sensed the same for others. We mustn’t let that happen, not any longer as we face some of the most daunting challenges of our time.

Parenting With Soul includes three simple building blocks: Purpose, Love, and Pure Potential along with guiding principles that support us, parents, and non-parents, to heal, restore, replenish, and create the good stuff we want in our lives; word by word, action by action.

Over the past two months, via this blog, I have covered the first two building blocks: Purpose and Love. The third building block is Pure Potential. Living from these three building blocks, we’re able to focus on what matters most, optimize our energy, and resources as we support the next generation to become the best they can be in a world that is fair and equitable. Who doesn’t want that?

There are two guiding principles to living one’s Pure Potential, which I define as potential at the highest energy level of them all driven by the soul.

  • Live from appreciation and abundance
  • Everything is possible

Live From Appreciation and Abundance

Does life seem hard? Do you long for a different one? Do you sometimes say to yourself, “When I get X, then I’ll be happy?”

For those who answered no to each of these questions, you are more likely to be someone that lives from abundance, appreciating that which you have and are, each and every day. These folks tend to bounce through life, light and airy, happy, joyful, and fulfilled. They experience their fair share of challenges, loss, and woes, like the rest of us, yet they seem to glide through them, ready for each new day, grateful for both trials and tribulations. So how do they do it?

The more light you allow within you,

the brighter the world you live in will be.

~ Shakti Gawain

The simple act of appreciation connects you to your heart in seconds, to others, and to the light. Darkness, in the forms of anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and anger shift in seconds to compassion, calm, and joy. It’s a discipline (through the HeartMath techniques) that I have instilled into my life for the past twenty years. And it works!

When we take just seconds to a few minutes to appreciate something or someone in our lives, we are reminded the world is a beautiful place filled with opportunities and adventure. A simple daily practice of appreciation, taking just a few minutes, can heal without medication, lighten your load, and keep you moving forward and focused on what matters most. Imagine the difference that would make in your life and the difference that would make in the world.

Everything is possible

Over a lifetime there are things that will get in the way of your dreams, possibly causing angst, overwhelm, and anxiety. These depleting emotions derail your energy, zap hopes, and dreams and become your biggest hurdle.

These dream-zapping and limiting conversations arise in an unmanaged mind, greatly limiting your potential. How do you stop these limiting conversations? Integrate your heart back into your life. It’s how you came into the world. It’s time to return to the heart. You need it and the world needs it.

We have become wired like the world we live in; busy, reacting, running, feeling like we’ll never get it all done. The shift back to the heart rewires us to feel joy and fulfillment no matter what comes our way; hopeful and engaged in a world of possibility rather than a world of limitations and disappointments.

You see, your intelligence is disseminated throughout the body, most of your heart cells are in fact neural! So, let’s open up that pathway again, to garner the amazing intelligence that is always available to you.

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross wisely said, “Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.”

And Rumi said, “The heart knows the way. Run in that direction.

Your Pure Potential is soul-driven. It is sourced from your heart. The heart will deliver you to where you want to go, and who you want to be, with a certainty that everything is possible.

It’s time for all of us to wake up to our Purpose, to Love, and to our Pure Potential. We’ll save ourselves and the world as we do so.
