Dan’s Story

The Early Years

Deeper Potential holds a strong sense of meaning in relation to my own life journey. Throughout my earlier years of life, I struggled with experiencing high levels of stress. As a result I was unable to stay on track in applying myself towards meaningful outcomes. Growing up, I was a sensitive kid, in fact I have always been a sensitive person. Early on, I struggled to deal with some of the volatile aspects of my environment. I often found myself checking out when things would become stressful. This habitual response of checking out became a way of escaping and avoiding difficult experiences. I would often bury myself into hobbies and interests that brought me a level of enjoyment, but I also found myself distracted. In these early years, I really couldn’t apply myself towards the tasks in front of me. These patterns continued in my teenage years. While I enjoyed some really productive and successful years in secondary school, I found it hard to consistently apply myself throughout. I would often seek distraction through socialising with friends, watching sports, teenage relationships and some destructive behaviours.

The Turning Point

It wasn’t until my 20’s that I finally sought help, to address the underlying mental and emotional stressors that contributed to me checking out. What I found when I worked through these experiences, was a lot of pain that I had spent years distracting myself from. Since then, I have spent years moving through my self-development journey. I have worked to address the pain of my early life circumstances. 

My Passion

Through that work I built my own life passion towards helping others. By getting in touch with my pain, I was also able to tap into a strong drive and commitment to live a meaningful life. A life where I can share and contribute something positive in my interactions with others. To be able to show myself that despite my challenges and early struggles, I can live a fulfilling life. In fact, my life is more meaningful because I have experienced and overcome these challenges. This is what Deeper Potential is about; by doing the work to unlock our pain, we can access the infinite potential that sits within us, to live a life of our choosing.
