Sometimes you have to take out the yard stick, aline it next to your self, and see how well you are measuring up to your own potential.
There is nothing worse than wasted potential. That is when we have the capacity for doing, being, and creating more and yet chose not to use the ability God gave us to do it. We have all been assigned to the earth as agents of possibility. We were sent here to do something. Every living human being has the capacity to impact the world for good or bad.
But we have to use the capacity. We have to exercise the gift of our own life and create something new. We must tap into our own mind and find the answers to problems all around us and solve them. When we look at issues and fail to find solutions, we live lives that are untapped for potential. When we go to work every day and see the same old problems without ever trying to really apply our minds to find solutions, we are untapped potential.
What determines our willingness to push into the realm of possibility and find solutions? It is the conviction that presses us to be better people. To make better choices, to gravitate towards positive circles of influence that say "you are better than you are manifesting." These relationships press us to stretch for higher and better standards of achievement.
They are yardsticks, on the shelves of our lives waiting to show us how well we measure up to our potential.
Who are you hanging out with? What have they done to make the world better? If the answer is nothing, you need to change people -- fast. You need to change your circle of influence. Because if the people around you are not doing anything positive and meaningful--Chances are you won't either.
Find a crowd of folks with tall orders, big dreams, clear vision and concrete plans! These folks are using themselves up! They make great measuring instruments to size up your life. then get busy using up all the potential inside you!
