Potential vs. Performance

The graphic I included in today's blog is a simple diagram that illustrates how potential - your God given talent - is prevented from being released. On the top , Line A represents your potential. Below that, Line B indicates the false ceiling that prevents you from reaching your potential.

This invisible ceiling is what you must break through to bowl up to your potential. So what is this false ceiling? What is it made of? One word: beliefs. What's holding you back are the false beliefs you've developed over the years. These beliefs shape your current habits, attitudes, behaviors and expectations - all of which combine to make up you self-concept. It's these beliefs that cap your performance and prevent you from bowling up to your potential. No matter what you do, you can't outbowl these inner beliefs, your self-concept. But you can change it, and you must change it before you can permanently expand your success zone.

The goal of the mental game is to raise the invisible ceiling and close the gap between your potential and your performance.

Start closing the gap today to Win the Day!
