Cork board with words including PotentialPotential

Today’s Word is Potential: “latent qualities or abilities that may be developed and lead to future success or usefulness.

Your qualities or abilities that are not currently being tapped could be developed into a future success. To some, it sounds like work. It sounds like pie in the sky to others who are not thinking very far ahead. But to a few, a light bulb shines the way forward, and the challenge is accepted. They Do It!

Have you ever thought about what you could do with your life if you were to focus on something?

I have the potential to _______________. (You fill in the blank.)

Now, use the same sentence and share it with someone you think is not living up to what you believe is their potential.

_______________have the potential to _______________.

Often our worst fears about what we fail to do are put on the back of others when we see them not accomplishing what they can do. It’s a game of “pass the buck.”

“There is no heavier burden than an unfulfilled potential.” ~Charles Schulz

The Apostle Paul said, “I can do all things…through Christ…who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
