Everyone has gifts, talents, skills, and unlimited potential. However, everyone is not willing to take full advantage of their potential. In fact, most people allow fear to prevent them from maximizing their potential. Typically, our current circumstances cause us to set small goals that are easily attainable. We do this because it makes us comfortable and because we do not need faith, hard work, or outside assistance to reach mediocre goals. Unfortunately, when we do this, we are not stretching ourselves and we are not maximizing our potential. Think about it, when you are attempting to build muscle, you cannot continue to lift the same amount of weight. If you keep lifting the same amount of weight, your strength will not increase.
Are you maximizing your potential? When you maximize your potential, you understand that the process will be uncomfortable. However, you also understand that stretching yourself, will allow you to go further than you could ever imagine. When you maximize your potential, you set goals that you cannot reach without the help of someone else. It takes courage to maximize your potential, because dreaming big places you in a vulnerable position. No one wants to fail and this is the reason why most people set goals that are easily attainable. Are you willing to be different? Are you willing to become the person whom you were designed to become? Do not wait for perfect timing. It is time to begin maximizing your potential now. Until next week….
