Your Potential

"There is no limit to your potential. For there is no limit to what you can imagine, and whatever you can imagine, you can bring into your life."~Ralph Marston

When you focus your imagination on positive possibilities, and you focus your efforts on making them real, you can bring them into your life. Most people say, "I'll believe it when I see it" when what they should be saying is "When I believe it, then I will see it." Look at the power of that phrase when you change a couple of words around...

Our imagination is unlimited, but we have trained our brains to limit our imagination to only things that we think are possible. When most people set goals, they are usually goals that they think they can achieve. Most people don't set BHAG goals or Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. A BHAG is a goal that you don't believe that you can do and the only way you can reach it is to stretch further than we thought we could, so most people choose goals that are acceptable, reachable, safe.

Screw safe goals. Set goals that you have no way to know if you can achieve them and just start working on them. As you start, you realize that you can do a little of it and then you can do a little more, till finally, you did it all.

Think of all the things that once were deemed impossible that are now commonplace. Thomas Watson of IBM said, "the world-wide market for computers is about 5, that's all." Really? Who would have believed that there is more computing power in your cell phone than the command module of the lunar missions?

You have a unique potential. Explore that potential. Make a Difference.
