You Will Never Reach Your True Potential If You Don't Stop Doing This | Ed Mylett

Are you ready to shatter the invisible barriers that keep you from your biggest dreams?

Today, we’re tackling a crucial topic that resonates deeply with me personally: the myriad ways we hide ourselves and, by doing so, hold ourselves back from achieving our most ambitious dreams—those God-sized dreams.

We often don't even realize we're HIDING in plain sight... But in this episode, I'm going to show you how hidden habits are keeping you from the life you deserve. Whether you're hiding in the shadows of past stories, the distractions of sports, or the comfort of routine, it's time to step out into the light and chase your God-sized dreams. Join me as we uncover the secrets to unlocking your full potential and truly maximizing your life!

This episode is all about confronting the invisible barriers we erect in our lives, whether it’s through clinging to past stories, immersing ourselves in sports or reality TV, or even over-preparing without taking action. We’re diving into the importance of visibility, of stepping out from the shadows to truly pursue what we're capable of achieving including:

- Identify Your Hiding Spots: We’ll explore the common areas where you might be hiding—sports, past successes or traumas, even through your kids or societal roles—and how these can subconsciously hold you back.

- Embrace Self-Awareness: Learn to recognize and admit where you're diminishing your own potential, making it the first step towards transformative growth.

- Actionable Steps to Unhide: I’ll share strategies to stop hiding, step up, and fully engage with your ambitions, including how to shift focus from preparation to execution.

- Maximizing Potential: Discover how to stop the cycle of hiding and start living a life that’s not just about surviving, but thriving and reaching those peak potentials.

Join me for a powerful discussion that’s designed not just to inspire but to provoke action and real change. Let’s shed the comforts of hiding and step boldly towards our dreams. Tune in and let's get ready to maximize your life, no holds barred!

You got me thinking. I hide in YouTube videos. Not educational ones like yours, but in the ones where I watch other people having their adventures and living their dreams. I want to make my own adventures and live my dreams. Thanks for the wake-up Ed!!

Not blaming the pandemic (2020-2022), but that period where we all stayed in put me in a comfortable, hiding zone. When the world opened, I didn't feel like stepping out anymore. I felt like I lost my "mojo" for life, for achievment. Before that, I was a go-getter, a fighter. Big thanks for this reminder, Ed!

Tired of hiding .. tired of sit down, be quiet, don't question.. no more, stand up, speak up and go after every dream. 54 and going after everything I was told I couldn't have ..

This is so motivational, inspirational. These words are resonating with me in a big way. I want to let them move within me so deeply that it creates motion and I am able to face my Goliath. Face my fears so that even if I fall I can still stand again and say "I DID IT". I TRIED AND I GAVE IT MY ALL, MY VERY BEST. We've all heard it; "If at first you don't succeed, try try again". Never stop trying friends (me!) Always keep pushing outside of your comfort zone and reach. This will carry you farther than you ever thought possible. If we all do this, how much richer the JOY we can give and receive!! Time to come out from the shadows, now is the time to step into the LIGHT where God always intended you to shine His light through YOU!!

Mr Mylett Sir!thank you very much for the wonderful, inspiring, and empowering podcasts you are giving us every single day!!!wishing the best!!

Great reminder for me today-thanks again Ed! Love your cool barn!
I think so much of why we get stuck and hide comes back to comfort and fear.
Comfort with the past, the familiar, our habits, and what is easy-where we don’t have to push ourselves. Even in our thoughts. It is weird but true…sometimes we even get comfortable in victimhood, in grief, in anger. Moving to a new place can be hard (in various ways), but it can also be so scary when you come down to it because it is stepping into the UNKNOWN, the unfamiliar…and that is very uncomfortable-it brings up our fears, weaknesses and insecurities! We need to have a mindset of Adventure-it requires stepping into the unknown with an excitement for the unknown and unfamiliar! New territory! Internally too-our imagination is God given to be used and to enhance our life and others-I believe we all have so much untapped capacity! We need to train ourselves to embrace and love change, and watch for our tendencies to slip back into those old sticky spots. We need to step into a more abundant life by allowing ourselves to expand into what God created for us-we have MORE to share, give, enjoy and explore!

I’m guilty of all of this hiding. Living from my high school and grade school sports achievements, my past deals and other business successes and living vicariously through my children’s achievements. All in the while of not taking care to be my best self. It is so easy to fall in this trap. The best example is the unspoken one and by be a living example. This is why I’m racing a 50K through a forest next month with 4 thousand feet of climbing. I’m sick of being average and at 56 I won’t to show my family and myself, the best is yet to come. Single goal, single moment, single focus. I realized only recently this is my formula to a complete transformation and success in all aspects of life. My hope this comes off authentic and 1 of you are inspired by this!

[faustinrwango]

Great video. I’ve struggled with this my entire life you could say it’s one of the biggest reasons why I’m shifting my life towards a fulfilling business life of helping people. It’s the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in life, but it’s the most exciting and right thing I’ve ever done! God bless sir 🙌🏻
