Unlocking Your True Potential:



Hello, fellow seekers of personal growth and life purpose! If you’ve been following my video series, you know we’ve been on an incredible journey of self-discovery coaching. Last week, I challenged you to audit your calendar through the lens of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs—specifically the three core levels: Physiological (survival basics like food, sleep, and shelter), Psychological (safety, love, belonging, and esteem), and Self-fulfillment (self-actualization and exploring your true potential).


How did that challenge go for you? Were you shocked to see most of your hours stuck in survival mode? Or did you spot pockets of deep connection and creative pursuit? Whatever your results, give yourself a pat on the back.



According to a 2023 Gallup poll, only about 20% of people worldwide feel they’re thriving in their overall well-being—meaning billions are grinding through life without ever pausing for this kind of inner spiritual work. You? You’re in the elite minority who’ve committed to intentional gratitude, purpose-driven living, and personal transformation.


Quick Review: Your Level 3 Wins So Far Let’s celebrate what you’ve already accomplished—these are pure Self-fulfillment (Level 3) activities that propel you toward true potential:


  • Opened up to an earnest search for your life purpose.  

  • Made thorough lists of what’s truly important to you, who’s truly important, your passions, values, and goals.

  • Integrated intentional gratitude into your daily routine—studies from Harvard show this boosts happiness by up to 25%.

  • Dedicated a full week to infusing love and humility into every action.

  • Identified role models and mentors, then interviewed at least six people for raw, honest feedback about you.


That’s executive-level self-coaching! Maslow himself estimated that less than 2% of the population ever reaches consistent self-actualization. You’re not just dipping a toe—you’re diving in.


This Week’s Challenge: Soak It In


Your mission is simple yet profound: Revisit your journal daily. Read through every entry at least once a day. Let the insights marinate. This isn’t passive reading—it’s active reflection coaching that rewires your brain for lasting change.


Pro Tip: Set a 10-minute timer each morning. Read aloud if possible—vocalizing cements neural pathways 50% faster, per cognitive science research. Ask yourself: “What patterns do I see? How has my mindset shifted? What’s one micro-action I can take today to live more aligned with my values?”


Why This Works (Backed by Science)


Repetition builds mastery. A meta-analysis in Psychological Bulletin (2021) found that daily reflection increases goal achievement by 42%. You’re not just reviewing—you’re reinforcing your purpose, amplifying intentional gratitude, and solidifying the humility and love you practiced.


Ready to Level Up?


You’ve done the heavy lifting. Now, let the wisdom sink deep. Journal in hand, heart open—see you next week for the next step in unlocking your true potential.


Remember,use the Lifeonomics App to structure your day, Routines and Check-ins so your support contacts/coaching partners can be part of your journey, and to hold you accountable.


Let’s make your personal growth unstoppable.
