Potential

potential

the potential to change history, to reach out and make goals and dreams reality. Everyone has this potential, in the story of the Tower of Babel, God says, when man works together, nothing is beyond them.

Many people have told me i have great potential....what they mean is that they think i could be doing so much more then i am.

Potential is such a crazy thing. A person telling you that you have so much potential is a very back handed complement. It really is saying that you are not doing enough. I used to be told this a lot mainly when I was in Middle School and High School. Then in the past week at 32, I was told for the first time I was that I had a lot of potential and then someone was gave me specifics on how I can change things to fulfill that potential. It is such powerful and encouraging thing to have someone tell you I think you have so much potential and then give you specifics on what is holding you back rather than simply say that you are not living up to your potential.
