POTENTIAL
The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life that never realized its full potential. You must decide today not to rob the world of the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away within you.

It is a tragedy to know that with five billion people on this planet today, only a minute percentage will experience a significant fraction of their true potential. Your potential is not for you to deposit in the grave. You must understand the tremendous potential you possess and commit yourself to maximizing it in your short lifetime. Now, what is potential?

Potential is... capped capability, unused success, reserved power, untapped strength... dormant ability... hidden talent.
It is all you can be but have not yet become, all you can do but have not yet done...how far you can reach but you have not yet reached... what you can accomplish but have not yet accomplished. Potential is unexposed ability and latent power.

Potential is therefore not what you have done, but what you are yet able to do. What you have successfully accomplished is no longer a potential. It is said that unless you do something beyond what you have done, you will never grow or experience your full potential. Potential demands that you never settle for what you have accomplished. It is also important that you never let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. Potential never has a retirement plan. What have you done for the Lord? How much seed have you sown for the unborn generation? How much time do you have left?
