You've felt it before... we all have: that swell of self-power.... the inner awareness of the things of which we are capable of.
It's completely natural... and the feeling is indescribable.
But what does it truly mean to reach your full potential?
Well, what is "Potential"? Essentially, it means all the things that you are capable of doing and being.
Obama had the potential to be the president of the United States... and someone saw that potential and pushed him to express it... and he's president of the united states.
I've been thinking, and I feel that achieving one's true potential is not as glamourous as television and our friends and family make it out to be.
For one, you have to realize that people have the potential for Great GOOD and EVIL.
You may have the potential to be a great light in this world, or you have the potential to be a great boot on the neck of everyone.
You may have the potential to be a star, or ... not
Potential without the steps to actualize it is useless, like having a brand new BMW in your driveway that doesn't work.
What things are you capable of?
Just remember that, as far as we know, this life is the only life that we will ever have... or as Brad Pitt so brilliantly put it in "Troy":
You will never be lovelier than you are now, and we will never be here again.
