Achieving Your Fullest Potential through Knowing Your Mission

 
After realising that abundant life is using your fullest potential before God, you might want to ask how you can achieve your fullest potential.

Where can you find it?

Is your fullest potential something that you learn in school through a college degree?

Do you need to enrol in the world’s most popular and best universities to gain it?

You probably grew up in a society where the familiar and prevailing thought is that having a college diploma is one’s ticket to success.

Furthermore, getting a master’s degree or specialising in a doctoral program can increase one’s potential for better opportunities.

In the “commonest” sense, this is true because a person with the highest educational degree gets accolades, recognition and opportunity, more so when that person has achieved so much.

However, some individuals who have not even finished high school have still managed to gain knowledge through practical life experiences. They have significantly achieved more than a person with a PhD.

I am not saying that education is not essential. I want to emphasise that it is only through education that one learns how to meet one’s fullest potential.

The difference is in acquiring knowledge through formal and informal means. How to gain one’s fullest potential is not the monopoly of colleges and universities.

You might have attained all the academic degrees in the world, but you will still fail to achieve your fullest potential because you don’t have a personal mission in life.

I learned that knowing one’s mission in life is primary in one’s quest to gain one’s fullest potential before the Lord.

When one has discovered their mission in life, especially at an early age, they will be driven to fulfil what they want to do with so much enthusiasm.

You have the zest to pursue what you want to do with diligence and determination.

Years ago, I spoke with two incoming first-year college students at Central Philippine University. I learned they wanted to take the nursing course because their parents wanted them to.

They revealed that if they had a choice, both wanted to excel in the arts because they have a passion for writing, speaking, and acting.

I believe in the sacredness of supporting children in reaching their full potential, as God has reserved for them. Parents must take the time to help guide their children in discovering their life’s mission.

I have been in situations before where I have had to wonder and wander about what I will do in life because I don’t know my life’s mission.

When I met life’s crossroads, I would readily choose any direction I thought was right. I never decided on a life mission as my road map to where I am going.

I realised that when I discovered and clarified my life mission, I could confidently pursue my passion and reach my full potential before God.

Are you wondering how to achieve your full potential? Get to know your mission right now.

Are you living to your fullest potential now by the mission that God has revealed to you?
