Default Unlocking your innate potential

The following is an excerpt from my article, which you can find at How to unlock your innate potential - Setting Life Goals - Helium - by Isabellasong

When you become attuned to living in the present moment, as opposed to always living in the past or dreaming of the future, you become acutely aware of the things from which you find enjoyment. And the majority of the time, these are the things which you are best at. Through my self-reflection, I started to remember that I have a creative side; that I love to read; to write; to design; to be surrounded by nature. All of which I had forgotten when I entered the world of adulthood, swept away by society's demands and expectations. A lot of us don't listen to what our own body and mind are telling us, because the demands of society keep us too busy and preoccupied to pay attention. It is these things that we should be investing more of our time in.

And there are some delightful side effects to devoting your time to your passions, namely, the eradication of such harmful feelings as jealousy, envy and judgment. Do you remember the last time you were feeling completely happy? Was your mind harboring negative thoughts about other people? Were you even thinking about anyone else? More than likely your answer is no, because when we are truly happy and at peace, we cease to think anywhere but within. Actually, we cease to even think and become content with just being. This is pure potentiality at its best. This is when we can take on the world and win.
