I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness, like holding the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Perhaps you have some untapped talent you may regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Potential
Are you living to your highest potential?
We all have different potentials.
You only have to live up to your potential, which may change daily.
For example, one day, you may be able to accomplish what feels like a million things, and the next, you are lucky if you can get out of bed. There is nothing wrong with that.
If you feel that you are not living up to someone else’s potential, that is ok.
Perhaps you have brilliant siblings, parents, or friends and feel you are not as bright as they are. There are all types of brilliance. You may not have the book smarts, but you are highly perceptive about what is happening around you. Having this type of intelligence is very beneficial. You can protect yourself and those around you.
For example, once, I was in New York City with my ex-mother-in-law, a school teacher who had no street smarts. She brought a huge handbag with her. Therefore, all day, I walked behind her to protect her. I kept asking her to let me carry it because she slung it over her shoulder. This man saw it at one point and turned around to follow her. At that point, I told her to let me have your bag, and she complied. The man went off in a different direction.
On that day, my potential was to protect my mother-in-law. Our potential changes daily; all we need to do is live up to it for that day.
Today’s challenge:
Remember that our potential is our own and does not have to match what others think it should be.
