Maximize your range with a full charge

The extent of one’s ability to perform well and achieve success may be likened to the range of travel of an automobile. It doesn’t matter if your car is fueled by gasoline or diesel, or yours is powered by electricity or hydrogen fuel cell, all vehicles have their range of travel. Some travel 400 miles on full charge or full tank while others travel less or more. The range of your car is the maximum distance your car can travel on a full tank or full charge. It is like the distance capacity of your car. Meanwhile, your car will not travel the full range if you do not fully charge it or fully fill the tank. A half tank will only give you a half of the range.

We too have an enormous capacity or potential to achieve great things, just like the range of the automobile. Unfortunately, many people do not go very far because they drive with only a quarter tank or a half level of the battery charge. There are many ways we fuel our tanks. The skills, experience, life lessons, time investments and whatever we do to become better all fill our tanks. They provide the driving force for our journey through life. People get stalled when they run out of fuel, or when their battery becomes discharged. Your skills, experience, and strengths of yesterday may not be enough to take you into your future. You may need to refresh, refill, and rejuvenate to go further.
​
The challenge for most of us is not about capacity or range. We surely do have the capacity, the potential to do incredibly big things and travel a very long road. The challenge is about preparing for the journey by getting fully charged or travelling with a full tank. Some people may need to go back to the basics and learn what it takes to travel the road they are aiming for, while others will need to stop by the gas station of further learning to refuel and continue. Whatever is your case, your true range in life is not determined by your capacity but by your fuel. Determine to maximize your range with a full tank.

Actions for the week

1. Evaluate your journey to check if you have what it takes to travel the length of your life journey. Do you need to upskill or relearn, or refresh?
2. If you have already settled into a form of complacency, you may need to reevaluate, refuel, and continue onward.
3. Determine to travel on a full charge or a full tank. Learn all you can, read all you can, acquire all the skills you can, and go for a full tank.
