Defining Potential

Defining Potential

Your potential is made up of the gifts and talents that God has given to you. All of us have our own unique gifts and talents. It is important that we recognize what our talents are and apply ourselves to the best of our ability to use them. Everyone that has ever lived up to their full potential first had to recognize what their talents were. Tiger Woods and his parents realized that he had a gift for golf and started his training at the age of five.

It is not enough to recognize that we have a gift or talent; we have to work hard and use those talents if we are to reach our full potential. Have you ever known someone that was really good at something but had no interest in doing it! Like when a student is very bright and intelligent, but does not apply themselves enough to make good grades. Or someone that is very talented at karate, but quits before they reach their black belt. These people are not living up to their full potential. 

To help you realize your potential, think of things you like to do... things that you are good at… and you will soon realize where your potential lies.
