We all have two choices about how we live: Do you want to live the life that you are capable of or the one that you are currently living?

I would hope that you answered the one that you are capable of living and if so, great, you are in the right place. So, how do you actually transform your life to the one you are capable of? One thing I am sure about is that if you continue to do what you are currently doing you will always get the life you are living now. You have to change your daily behaviors if you want to get different results in the future and yes, this means change.

Change can be a scary word for most people because it is essentially taking you out of the safety of your comfort zone and stretching you to do new things. This is why the first step towards Maximizing Your Potential is to create a grand vision for your ideal life. I want you to write down in as much detail as possible the answer to this question: "If you could design and create your ideal life, what would it look and feel like?"

The most important word in this question is feel because your emotions are a major factor in your decision making process. After you have a clear and compelling description of your vision you will need to understand where you are today. Who are you, what is your purpose, and what motivates you. This is another opportunity to dig deep into your feelings and again, this can be uncomfortable because it is not something that we are taught to do.

I encourage you to identify 3-5 values that you live and die by. These are things that you will not compromise under any circumstances. Do not confuse these with strengths because that is what you do, values are why you do them. I have a list of around 100 examples that you can start to narrow down until you get to your final 3-5.

You can get this list of values by emailing me at Chris@Chris-J-Baker.com.

The last stage in the process is to plan. I don't want you to think about long term plans, we will be working on 3 month plans so that there is urgency in achieving them. It doesn't matter what you will be doing in 3 years, 5 years, 10 years etc. what is important is what you do today as that is the only day you can make a difference.

This is a journey, my friend, and if you are prepared to put in the work I will be happy to be your guide. As I leave you I want to ask you this question:

"Are you happy living under the average limitations imposed on you by other people, or are you ready to rise to the greater expectations of your inner self?"
