“When you don’t fulfill your highest potential, everyone who might have benefited from your gifts loses too.”
– Emmitt Smith, NFL’s All-Time Leading Rusher and 3-Time Super Bowl Champion
You were made to dream big and achieve greatness in life.
Striving to fulfill your highest potential and follow the dreams in your heart is essential to your happiness. But it is also essential to the success and happiness of others.
Anyone who has played a team sport knows their performance affects not just themselves, but the entire team. When you fail to give your best effort or keep a winning attitude, you’re not only letting yourself down, you’re letting your teammates down as well.
At work, your performance affects your entire organization, your customers, and anyone you’ve been hired to serve. The same concept applies to your family at home.
Giving your best affects a lot more than just you.
But even outside of obvious team settings, striving to be your best affects others.
For instance, when you’re chasing a dream you are passionate about, you will be happier and more pleasant to be around. This affects everyone you come in contact with.
Creating a great new product benefits all who end up using it.
Overcoming the odds and accomplishing something difficult can inspire people you’ve never even met.
Achieving your biggest goals benefits your family members and lifts up all those who care about you.
It is not self-centered or egotistical to go after big dreams.
The dreams in your heart are there for a reason and you striving to reach your highest potential can benefit others in innumerable ways.
Strive for big dreams and goals. You owe it not just to yourself, but to many others as well.
