Maximize Your Potential

If you could have any future that you could dream up, what would it be? As you answer that question, visualize what you really want, and not what you think may be possible. Without a vision, it's impossible to reach your goals. If you are not taking the time to maximize your dream, you will never realize your potential. Your potential is not necessarily who you are, but who you are capable of becoming. If you are not living your life with an intent to reach your destiny, you are not living. In essence, you are dead because a man without a dream is merely existing, but not truly alive.

If you have hope for your future, you are still breathing. Focusing on your present situation is often a distraction. It is easy to get caught up in ideas about how your life could be better. Often times, you give too much energy on negative aspects of your progress. You think about how much further you thought you would be. You're spending way too much time dwelling on mistakes that you have made that you can do nothing about. The moral to the story is that your attention should not be focused on your present circumstance. Better yet, your mind should be meditating on where you are going.

There are no limits on where you are going unless you place them there. Many people might try to tell you that you can't do it; but it's not over until you say it's over. On the other hand, it doesn't start until you say, "Go!" If you haven't been dreaming of something greater, start today. If you have been dreaming, take a step toward it today. If you are living your dream, help someone else realize their dream. There is always something that you can do to expand your dream and maximize your potential.
