Welcome to Episode 9 Frederick Entenmann, host of MIND BODY LIFE, discusses human potential and answers the question, "What is potential and how can you get more out of your life?".

"Like many of my clients, I can believe that unleashing my potential is about me making more money, becoming brilliant and famous in my work, writing best-sellers, and driving a Mercedes. But, is this really what reaching our POTENTIAL is all about? Is it really about gaining, achieving, and acquiring stuff?And if it’s true that we’re already whole and perfect, why do we feel the call to stretch ourselves and strive for more? Why are we always searching for that job that pays more money, or that allows us to take on a leadership role? What is this drive we have that pushes us to break out of our perceived ordinariness?

I’m continually redefining my definition of what it means to live up to your potential. Here’s what I’ve come up with:

Our full potential is when we allow ourselves to be FULLY EXPRESSED in our life—when we don’t allow ANYTHING outside of us; the criticisms and judgments from others (and from ourselves) to stop us from doing what we really want to do in our life.

I like this definition because it’s not just about getting or acquiring stuff, but about seeing the stuff as a vehicle…a conduit for full self expression to play out. You may not have “the stuff” or ‘things’ you want yet, but you’re actually getting small flashes or glimmers of how it feels to unleash your potential all the time. I’ve experienced many such moments. It’s when I’ve felt truly tuned-in and connected to something larger and more expansive…and a bigger version of myself begins to emerge…a possibility. It’s kind of like getting a sneak preview of what could be possible for me. And for sure, they’ve been my highest and richest days. "
