Take on the Capacity Challenge – No Limits by Dr. John C. Maxwell

Maxwell’s new book, No Limits, really inspired me to grow even more in my career and calling. Here is quote from the book summarizing why you need to read it, “We often treat the word capacity as if it were a natural law of limitation. Unfortunately, most of us are much more comfortable defining what we perceive as off limits rather than what's really possible. Could it be that many of us have failed to expand our potential because we have allowed what we perceive as capacity to define us? What if our limits are not really our limits?In his newest book, John Maxwell identifies 17 core capacities. Some of these are abilities we all already possess, such as energy, creativity and leadership. Others are aspects of our lives controlled by our choices, like our attitudes, character, and intentionality. Maxwell examines each of these capacities, and provides clear and actionable advice on how you can increase your potential in each. He will guide you on how to identify, grow, and apply your critical capacities. Once you've blown the "cap" off your capacities, you'll find yourself more successful--and fulfilled--in your daily life.”How do we increase our capacity to be successful and significant? Start by acting on the Capacity Challenge:

“If you grow in your awareness, develop your abilities, and make the right choices, you can reach your capacity.”

In other words, Awareness+Ability+Choices = Greater Capacity for Success.Take the Capacity Challenge Assessment by Dr. Maxwell and determine what core capacities are giving you success momentum and what are constraining you to new levels of success.Last week, I just finished 3 days of mountain biking with my daughter, Jasmine, and trainer Yuko Tan in Moab Utah.I found out very quickly how “Life is like a ten speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use,” says Charles Shultz, the creator of Peanuts comic strip. When mountain biking, I needed to use all the gears on the bike to climb, to get around obstacles and to create momentum to make it up the next hill. If I had only used a few of the gears on the bike, I would have not completed the trail.Learn to use all the “17 capacity gears” you have to increase your capacity for success.  Get online and purchase Maxwell’s No Limits to grow yourself and  have a more significant impact in 2017.Have a great week increasing your capacity for success!
