The Potential Inside

Take a look at what Humanity, as a whole, has accomplished.

Humans have grown rich, successful, have made amazing discoveries and achieved physical feats that are ridiculous to think about.

We have created art and music that make people cry, have created monuments and wonders that rival nature, and made nature bend to our will.

We have begun to explore places where no life can exist and are constantly questioning life itself.

We have accomplished a lot and will likely only accomplish more in the future.

You, being a human yourself, have that theoretical potential to do anything and everything that has ever been done, will ever be done, and that people are doing right now.

While you may not be using the potential inside of you, once you release that energy to something it can create a giant amount of energy.

The problem is that that potential is theoretically limitless and therefore it’s very hard to determine exactly what you should use it for.

The problem that most people have is that they try to find the best way to use their potential and then wait and do nothing.

They want something to fall in their lap or have a sign that tells them what they should do.
