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.
