7 Keys to success as I currently understand them.

1.       Abundance is about paying it forward and doing things in advance. This creates a feeling of wealth through having a surplus of the things I value including time, money and opportunities.

2.       Appreciation unlocks the value locked up in the things I have and lets me experience it in my present moment.

3.       Brotherhood is an acknowledgement of being a part of a greater whole that is made better by my participation in assisting others for any reason in any form and my abstinence of pushing them away in any form. for any reason.

4.       Unconditional Love is the act of giving what cannot be valued by money,  to those that need it, in a way that will benefit them without any possibility of a physical, mental or emotional debt being incurred.

5.       Creating is the act of contributing as a channel to that which is ready to manifest on the mental or physical plane. Unconditional creating is recognizing that you don’t own the ideas nor the energy that will fuel them any more than you can take them with you when you leave. They are summoned by the whole....they belong to the whole.

6.       A quality light shines brightly and makes the path easy to see for others. Be a grand light, but understand that not all will wish to follow the path your light falls upon.  

7.       Life, like water is potential. Water like Life can potentially quench a thirst you have. But first you must drink long and deeply.

Accessing our potential

Some people access a great deal of their potential. Most don't access much of theirs. A part of this is based on who we believe we are. If I believe I am unemployable, then I sculpt the limits of my potential within the confines of what I can achieve in this situation. If I believe I am the right calibre for the job I am going for but I don't get that job, then my potential is still there, it is just that the content hasn't manifested yet.
When I drive, I am inside the content of a previous idea. That idea was once in my potential but not activated. At some point I have activated that particular potential and it has manifested. Once potential activates we tend to get caught up in the experience. If we want to experience new potential we have to change who we see ourselves to be and what we see in our potential.
We came into this realm with a series of tasks to fulfil. If we achieve those tasks which will include consumption of karma and refinement of consciousness then we will boost our accessible potential.
When we initially think of our potential we do so from our personalities perspective, because this is the default position we anchor observing self in. Thus the personality has the greatest pull of desire to chase potential, which of course it sees as 'it's potential'. Once I am able to ground myself beyond the boundaries of the vehicle I am then able to see a different perspective of life and am therefore willing to work for the greater good to which I can see I am a part of. Thus my motivations to access my potential change.

Potential

I have looked at my potential before in other posts.
This is a fresh current perspective.
We are bombarded by the physical plane to keep our attention external. We have TV to get lost in, the radio, or any form of music; now have the internet and other forms of media. All of these attention grabbers defocus us from our potential and engage us with the past. Everything about the physical plane is "historic light"....that is thoughts that have already been explored, developed and experienced. We as individuals may well not have experienced all options, but any options we delve in at a material physical level is no different from consuming dead matter.
Our potential is our life source. Even at the most basic level you can intuitively recognize this. We are inspired by our potential. We are motivated by it and we have a sense of worth when we pursue it.
What then is it that we are doing when we focus our mind on our potential?
I believe the imagination aspect of our mind is the doorway to our true potential. Those that wish to keep us grounded in the material physical plane where like zombies we follow their every command in the constant cycle of work, buy, consume, work some more so we can buy more and consume more, until we die and are replaced by the next set of cogs in the money making machine; tell us that our imagination is false. That we should grow up and stop using our imagination.
There is more to it than wishful imaginative thinking. I believe this part of our mind has been incorrectly used for 1000s of years. It has become a weak muscle and needs to be retrained. Jesus once said to get into the kingdom of heaven we needed to be like a child. What do children do so well? They use their imagination.
The problem with a child's imagination is that it is like a power wand without any instructions on how to use it.
The key is to bring your attention to bear on one idea.
Another key is to connect to the "other side of your mind" rather than your conscious material human vehicle side. Here is where your "intuition" is and where your capacity to create in the material world starts from. The down side is that without the knowledge you look back into the material world each time you manifest a thought from your potential and then you stay there and get lost to your potential again. Seeing the material potential of an idea rather than the next step in your new potential.
This is worth some serious thought.
Another key is to make sure that your potential is for a greater good beyond your vehicle's persona. This way more power comes into play and you cannot be corrupted by your own personality taking over that potential once it surfaces in the physical plane. With your mind on a greater than yourself objective, the potential will keep your focus rather than it's manifesting effects and outcomes.
