The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)

The Potential Gap
Have  you  ever  felt  like  the  life  you  want  to  live  and  the  person
you  know  you  can  be  are  just  beyond  your  grasp?    Do  you  ever  feel
like you’re chasing your potential—you know it’s there, you can see
it—but  you  can  never  quite  catch  it?    When  you  see  people  who  are
excelling in an area that you’re not, does it seem like they’ve got it all

figured  out—like  they  must  know  something  that  you  don’t  know,
because if you knew it, then you’d be excelling in that area too?
Most of us live our lives on the wrong side of a huge gap in our
potential,  a  gap  which  separates  who  we  are  from  who  we  can
become. We are often frustrated with ourselves, our lack of consistent
motivation, effort and results in one or more areas of life. We spend
too  much  time thinking about  the  actions  we  should  be  taking  to
create the results that we want, but then we don’t take those actions.
We all know what we need to do; we just don’t consistently do what
we know. Can you relate?
This potential gap varies in size from person to person. You may
feel like you’re very near your current potential and that a few tweaks
could  make  all  the  difference.  Or  you  might  feel  the  opposite—like
your  potential  is  so  far  away  from  who  you’ve  been  that  you  don’t
even know where to start. Whatever the case is for you, know that it is
absolutely possible and attainable for you to live your life on the right
side of your potential gap and become the person you are capable of
becoming.
Whether you are currently sitting on the wrong side of the grand
canyon  of  your  potential,  wondering  how  you’re  going  to  get  to  the
other  side,  or  you’ve  been  working  your  way  across  the  canyon  but
are stuck at a plateau and haven’t been able to close that gap and get
to the next level—this chapter will introduce you to six tools that will
enable  you  to  go  from  where  you  are—accepting  less  from  yourself
than  what  you  know  is  possible—  to  developing  yourself  into  the
person you know you can become.
