Tapping Potential

Don't forget to remember the potential you have.

You know you haven't fulfilled your potential until you feel successful. Can you think of all the times you have felt successful? I imagine that I might feel successful if I saw a stack of all of the books that I have read in my life, piled up in front of me. I think we would all feel successful if we thought of a time when we first learned how to do something, whatever that something may be. An example is when someone first learns to do something new like whistling, blowing a bubble of gum, tying shoes, snapping and learning to drive.

I find that sometimes we don't fulfill our potentials because we don't want to. This correlates to not being motivated enough. It could also be that there is some external obstacle in our way that is keeping us from fulfilling our potentials. I mean, we really do limit ourselves when we don't push or test ourselves. For example, we consider walking a few miles a "walk" and then we are done. Have you ever wondered exactly how far you could walk in a whole day though? Have you ever wondered what would happen if you didn't stop and kept going?

So, that is my advice on tapping potential. It is something that is important to do. I think once we tap our potential, then good things will be in store for us.

Thanks for reading! Peace out and blog out.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
