#83 Pursuing Your Potential

As a human being you have the incomparable privilege of pursuing your potential! Sadly many of us go along through life unaware of the privilege and so we merely exist in survival mode and ultimately fall far short of where we could have arrived. Thoreau said “most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with their song still in them.” Not only is it a blessing and privilege and opportunity, but it’s also a responsibility and a moral obligation. Think of what you could achieve. Think of the lives you could influence. Think of who you could become if you vigorously embraced the pursuit of the privilege of your potential! Your very best self is inside of you! It is not external to you. And it is your privilege to manifest it, to create it, to make it happen! None of us wants to get to the end of our lives, or even to the end of this year, and realize that we had lived far below our potential!
