How to Reach Your Peak Potential in All Areas of Your Life

Many people want to be the "best" they can possibly be, but how can this be achieved without having to ingesting a pill, like the NZT-48 from the movie "Limitless"?

Here is a short story that may guide you.

There was once a man that had a beautiful family whom the kids loved dearly, that the father would take the time to give them their undivided attention when it was needed.

Through the man's bold ambition to take care of his family, he decided to open up a new restaurant. Immediately, the store became the talk of the town for having the best Miso Soup. Every day during lunch time, the restaurant would be packed with people waiting in line that would wrap around the store three times over with hungry patrons wanting their meals. The business was doing tremendously well.

With the man's new pride, he decided to cut some corners by adding more water into his famous Miso Soup. For a good length of time, the mans profits grew as his quality lessened. As this went on, the man realized, he had no more customers and his family became more distant of him. With this new dilemma, he panicked and brought his top quality Miso Soup back, but it was too late. The man finally realized that the customers had been lied to, and he was cutting corners with his kids by not giving them their full attention as they used to receive.

Here is a visual representation to wrap your head around what is actually happening with your life.

Imagine a river that has a formation of a spiders web, and each point of intersection represents an area of your life. When you start cutting corners at work, the point of intersection will start flowing towards other points of intersections such as, cutting corners doing homework, cutting corners at home, and cutting corners taking care of yourself; so the river will keep spreading through your whole areas of life, until all the rivers are flowing the exact same way.

Remember when your mom used to say how messy your room was, and it represents your life? There is some truth to that.

From the book "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg, their research shows that:

• "People who exercise start eating better, becoming more productive at work, smoke less, show more patience with colleagues and family, use credit cards less frequently, and feel less stressed."
• "Making your bed every morning correlates with better productivity, greater sense of well being, and strong skills to sticking to budget."

Still unclear as to why this phenomenon triggers positive outcomes in many different areas of life, but it does happen!

So in order to be the best that we can possibly be in all areas of our life, you don't have to work on each individual areas, just start focusing doing very well in one particular area, and it will slowly but surely flow towards all area's of your life.

"It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop."

-Confucius

Every action you make, either makes you, or breaks you.

You have the power each and every day to do what you know is right, and gradually, as you become persistent in your progress, it will effect your entire life.

So what are some choices in life, you can change right now for the better?
