You have great Potential !

I believe everyone's born with great potential. Everyone has a chance. We all have those opportunities available to us, especially in world like today. Why is it that, not everyone is living to their full potential. People seem to settle into a "comfortable" life. A life were they just made it. We should be living a life in abundance, a joyful life, a life with passion. So what keeps us from reaching our goals and full Potential?

What keeps us from reaching our goals and full potential ?
A straight forward answer is ourselves. We keep ourselves from reaching our own goals. Its all on how we think.A great Example is this story.

The Old Man Story
Two tourist noticed an old man fishing by the edge of a dock. They observed and saw that beside him was an empty bucket and a ruler, broken at the 10 inch mark. Soon after they saw that the old man had caught a fish. He took the fish out from the water. And measred the fish with his broken ruler.It measured just about on the 9inch mark. The old man placed it in the bucket and continued fishing. About ten minuets later the tourist noticed that the old man had caught another fish. But this time it was much bigger, rather large. Again the Old man measured the fish but this time the fish passed the 10inch mark. The old man threw it back into the ocean. The tourist were puzzled and wondered why the old man had thrown the fish back into the water. So they decided to ask the old man why he had thrown the fish back into the water. So they walk up to the old man and ask," why did you throw the fish back into the ocean, it was a large fish" the old man replied. " Well my frying pan at home is only 10 inches wide."

We sometimes need to just get rid of that 10inch frying pan and buy a bigger one. We need to start getting rid of our negative thoughts and start thinking big. Sometimes life hits us with great opportunities but our small narrow minded mind, doesn't allow us to step out and reach for it. So my message for today or (first post message) is to get out and reach your full potential and don't settle into a limited life. Picture by Chezrump
