POTENTIAL DEFINED

WHAT IS POTENTIAL?
Before i continue, have this; everything on planet earth has Potential. In fact, man carries an extraordinary potential. The potential you're endowed with is superficial. It is a pity that few draw to their full extent, but all human beings are sent to the planet earth with limitless credit; full potential. Your potential was not given for you to deposit in the grave, you must maximize your potential to the fullest in your short lifetime.

Potential is defined as an unexposed ability and latent power. It is dormant ability, a reserved power, an untapped strength, an unused success, or hidden talent, and a capped capability. It's all about you can be but have not yet become. All you can do but have not yet done. How far you can reach but have not yet reached. What you can accomplish but have not yet accomplished. 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. Potential never has a retirement plan.

Potential is therefore not what you have done, but what you are yet able to do. In other words, what you have done is no longer your potential. What you have successfully accomplished is no longer 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.


NOTHING IS INSTANT
Nothing in life is instant. People think miracles are instant, but they really are not. They are just a process that has been sped up. Nothing God created is instant, including you. Because God does not operate in the instant. He is a God of the potential principle. Everything begins as potential. He did not create a ready-made human race, the earth was not given an instant population. One of the greatest enemies of your potential is success. God wants you to maximize the potential He has given to you. You are not yet what you are supposed to be, though you may be pleased with what you now are. Don’t accept your present state in life as final, because it is just that, a state. Don’t be satisfied with your last accomplishment, because there are many accomplishments yet to be perfected. Since you are full of potential, you should not be the same person next year that you are this year. God is full of potential, likewise man.
The potential of a thing is related to its source.
Creation abounds with potential because the Creator Himself is the potential principle.
When we describe God, we often say He is omnipotent. Omnipotent means that God is always potent. The word omni means “always,” and potent means “full of power,” omnipotent means that God is potentially everything. He has within Him the potential for all that is, was, or ever will be. Therefore, if Our source is always potent and full of potential, and after he formed man, he breathed into man His omnipotent quality, telling us that man is full of potential. There is no number of years that man can use on earth to exhaust his potential. Why? Just because our source is always potent. You must acknowledge this in order to maximize your potential to the fullest. Man replicates this dimension and powerful quality of God, which is limitless.

LIFE IS MAINTAINED BY ITS SOURCE
Wherever something comes from, it has to remain attached to where it came from in order to fulfill itself. All created things must be maintained by their source. Thus plants need soil to live. They can’t live without the dirt. If a plant decides, “I’m tired of the soil,” it also decides “I’m ready to die.” Animals also need the dirt. Because they must live on what they came from, they have to eat plants and one another (dirt) to stay alive. If an animal decides, “I’m not going to eat any more dirt or anything that is made from the dirt,” he has decided to die. Therefore, if you decide you don’t need God, you have also decided never to become all you are capable of being. The potential of everything is related to source; everything must be attached to its source if it is going to fulfill its potential. If you decide you don’t need God, you also have decided never to become all you are capable of being.
