Limits Of Unlimited Potential
We are often told that “you can be anything you want to be”. That’s not really true. If you love basketball, for example, as much as you try (and you should) it is highly unlikely that you will ever be as good as Kobe Bryant. Yet no one can be as good at the something that you were meant to be as you can be.
You will find that something, your purpose by constantly striving to find and reach your potential in everything you do. Where you will ultimately find it is when you meld the kindness and compassion of your soul into your physical and material activities.
“Your physical potential while as yet not fully tapped is indeed limited. Your soul’s potential while not yet fully tapped is indeed unlimited”
