Live to Your Potential

Written by Tony Aloise

“The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled toward some great good.” - Brian Tracy

 Potential is about leveraging our known strengths…not letting them go to waste even in times of leisure or service. Potential is about discovery…trying new things and moving out of our comfort zone. Potential is beyond what we already know we are capable of…an ongoing capacity for personal development. With this capacity comes the opportunity to choose new roles or projects or new ways to interact with people.

 Potential calls us to “invest our time rather than spend it”, living each day like it is our last. We live to our potential when we spend more hours in our strengths. We do so when we touch more people and raise them up too.

 Knowing your purpose in life and setting personal and professional goals is a good starting point. These provide direction based on intentional life choices. Potential is an aspiration; something to be chosen. It can be a “value”. Potential is foundational in that it shapes our attitude and beliefs about life.

 Surround yourself with people who make you a better person and encourage you to grow. Seek new experiences and roles. We are never too young or old to have big ideas and goals and grow. Now is the right time! Live, work and serve to your Purpose, Passion and Potential!
