Our Potential Is Unlimited

Our potential truly is unlimited but the realization of that potential is limited by what we think. Parents, teachers, friends, and lovers are often frustrated by what they consider the terrible waste of potential in their children, students, friends, lovers, and significant others (that last is a silly outmoded Politically Correct sort of term – everyone is significant, not to recognize that is to be terribly short-sighted.) Our focus regarding potential is misplaced on others it should be on ourselves – being the best that we can be is to lead by example. Preaching self improvement to others is really in most if not all instances just a great waste of breath, time, and energy that might better be employed on improving the only person we really can, our self.

“As a person thinks they are in their heart so they are.” Indeed, we are only limited by our thoughts, which are in many cases only the thoughts of other people who do not really know us at all nor themselves that well. I would like to introduce you to a truly magnificent being. Now step up to the mirror so I can make a proper introduction: “(Insert your name here),I would like to introduce you to the most remarkable person you have ever met or ever will, (Insert your name here.)” This individual has the remarkable ability to reinvent themselves every day and to truly get better and better everyday and in every way. Hey, and it is okay to take a day off every now and then just to have some fun, or a week, or a year or even a lifetime. I am having one of those fun lifetime breaks myself. I must have over done that self-improvement thing in my last life. Seriously, we are here to have fun and so for most of us self improvement should be focused on developing a better sense of fun, sense of humor, and really polishing up our best gut busting jokes. Have I told you my Irish poem lately? That many times, huh? My Irish accent gets better every time I tell it though. Spoiler alert: “The pig got up and slowly walked away.”
