365 Days to Realize Your Potential
Week 1 Day 2
Potential Defined
Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
2 Corinthians 5:5
B00K QUOTE: Understanding Your Potential [Chapter 1]
It is a tragedy to know that with over live billion people on this
planet today. only a minute percentage will experience a significant
fraction of their true potential. Perhaps you are a candidate for con-
tributing to the wealth of the cemetery. Your potential was not given
for you to deposit in the grave. You must understand the tremendous
potential you possess and commit yourself lo maximizing it in your
short lifetime. What is potential. anyway?
Potential is therefore not what you have done, but what you are
yet able to do. In other words, what you have done is no longer your
potential. What you have successfully accomplished ¡s no longer
potential. It is said that unless you do something beyond what you
have done, you will never grow or experience your full potential.
Potential demands that you never settle for what you have accomplished. One of the great enemies of your potential is success. In order to realize your full potential. you must never be satisfied with your last accomplishment. It is also important that you never let what you cannot do interfere with what YOU CAN do. The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life that never realized its full potential. You must decide today not to rob the world of the rich, valuable, potent untapped resources locked away within you. Potential never has a retirement plan.

WEEK 1—DAY I EVERYTHING IN LIFE HAS POTENTIAL
- — —
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
Ephesians 3:20 (New International Version)
BOOK QUOTE: Understanding Your Potential [Preface]
The wealthiest spot on this planet is not the oil fields of Kuwait.
Iraq. or Saudi Arabia. Neither is it the gold and diamond mines of
South Africa, the uranium mines of the Soviet Union. or the silver
mines of Africa. Though it may surprise you, the richest deposits on
our planet lie just a few blocks from your house. They rest in your
local cemetery or graveyard. Buried beneath the soil within the walls
of those sacred grounds are dreams that never came to pass, songs
that were never sung. books that were never written, paintings that
never filled a canvas. ideas that were never shared, visions that never
became reality. inventions that were never designed. plans that never
went beyond the drawing board of the mind, and purposes that were
never fulfilled. Our graveyards are filled with potential that
remained potential. What a Tragedy!
Only a minute percentage of the five billion people on this
planet will experience a significant portion of their true potential.
Are you a candidate for contributing to the wealth of the cemetery?
Ask yourself the following questions.
Who am I?
Why am I here?
how much potential do I have?
What am I capable of doing?
By what criteria should J measure mv ability?
Who sets the standards?
By what process can I maximize my ability?
What are mv limitations?
Within the answers to these questions lies the key to a fulfilled.
effective life.
One of the greatest tragedies in life is to watch potential die
untapped. Many potentially great men and women never realize their
potential because they do not understand the nature and concept of
the potential principle. As God has revealed to me the nature of
potential. I have received a burden to teach others what I have learned.
There’s a wealth of potential in you. I know, because God has shown me
the vast store He placed in me. My purpose is to help you understand
that potential and get it out. You must decide if you are going to rob
the world or bless it with the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked
away within you.
You are more than what you have done.

365 Manners Kids Should Know:
When your child recieves duplicate gifts

the seashell clock is simply ugly. Unless the giver lets your child
know the sweater or video can be returned or exchanged (and even
then caution is urged), the best response is a sincere thank you.”
Tell your child to focus on the giver, not the gift. The giver put
time and thought into its selection, and certainly meant to please
your child.
There is no need for your child to lie when writing the note by
saying, for instance, that the dancing chihuahua was just what he
wanted. It would he better to say. Thank you for remembering
my birthday you have a talent for finding one—and-only gifts. I

Jesus Calling October 15
TRY To STAY CONSCIOUS OF ME
as you go step by step through this day. My Presence with you is both
a promise and a protection. My final staLement just before I
ascended into hcavcii vas: Surely I am with you always. l’hat
promise was for all of My followers, without exception.
The promise of My Presence is a powerful protection. AS you
journey through your life, there are numerous pitfalls along
the way. Many voices clamor for your attention, enticing you
to go their way. A few steps away from your truc path arc pits
of’ sell—pity and dcspair plateaus of pride and self—will. If you
take your eyes off Me and follow another’s way YOU are in
grave danger. Even we1l—meaning friends can lead you astray
if you let them usurp My place in your life. The way to stay
on the path of Life is to keep your focus on Me. Awareness of
Mv Presence is your best protection.
MATThEW 28:20; Hebrews 12:1—2

feel. Help your child understand that it isn’t truly a gift if the
other person doesn't feel good about it.
