What potentials do you exhibit or have locked within you?
I first read about potential in 2011 from one of the great teacher of it (Myles Munroe) growing up then and on the path of self discovery, it was of a great insight which open up new possibility for me. I also believe going through this will be a time well invested for you.
Potential is the reserved Power, ability, or talents within you to be successful in anything you desire to accomplish. This ability mighty be radiant to you and others to see, yet you might not live to the full potential you have if you do not align with it. If you align with your potentials through great work ,courage, determination, doggedness and unveiling believe in yourself and abilities, you will be able to live to your full potential. Your full potential here simply means; the sum total of what you can or should have done during the course of your entire life.
A child that has the potential to grow 5(five) feets tall if not properly feed and nourished, will never grow to that height. so it is with what we can accomplish in this life with our potential. Hence, the place of proper and diligent preparation in training and equipping yourself with the necessary skills and knowledge to enable you excel in areas of your in-born ability can never be undermine that can be the simple distinguishing factor if you live to those potentials or not.
Growing up in my environment, I have seen young people like myself starting with great potentials to excel in what they do, only that at some points one thing or the other made all that fades away. Hence, their lives looks like a light bulb that have been switched off from its control board.
At this stage, restoring to your creator for direction of your life is essential. Pray, begin to work on yourself , trace your steps back to the old good days. Start believing in your abilities again and am telling you, illumination will come to your dark path. you will begin to see light again but this time do not lose site of it, continue with the work and determination to succeed.
I believe you have seen plants in a horticulture garden before, we sometimes buy this seedlings and plant in our homes or environments . Most of the plants have potentials of becoming trees yet as long as the gardener keeps them within the small seedlings beg with little organic material, they will never grow to reach that height of a mature tree of it kind. So a seedlings that has the potential of growing into a tree remains a shrub for many years. This is a clear illustration of what happens to all the potential you posses if you refuse to do something to Nurture and nourish it. Demand something of yourself. You are more than what you have done.
You aren't doing more because no one has challenged you. Give your ability a responsibility that would change the world. There is wealth of potential in you, but you haven't given it any responsibility .
You must decide if you are going to rob the world or bless it with the rich, valuable, potent ,untapped resource locked away within you.
I will like to end this piece with the words from Myles Munroe book on potentials and I quote
"You have the ability to imagine and plan and bring into being anything you desire. If you decide to do something and you believe in it hard enough and commit yourself to work for it long enough, nothing in the universe can stop you.
You have a blank check but there is one condition on the cashing of that check: You must believe in yourself, your potential, your commitment to make your dreams come true and accomplish your goals.
Remember, you won’t aspire to anything that you haven’t been already wired to do. Your potential is limitless. You possess the ability to achieve, develop, accomplish, produce, create and perform anything your mind can conceive. You were created with all the potential you need deposited within you so you can fulfill your potential in this life". To reach your full potential and accomplish your Purpose and dreams, prepare prayerfully, plan purposefully, proceed positively pursue persistently for failure is the path of least persistence. Remember the limit of your potentials is God, that makes your potential limitless.
Your Dream is Possible.
