Sir,
One of the world’s waste of energy is not necessarily fuel or electricity, rather the waste of unused potential within the lives of many people. What would happen to our families and nation if all of us would choose to maximise our God-given abilities and potential. It is usually said the average person uses only about 10 per cent of their potential. If all of us decided to positively and effectively use our potential, the country would be better than it is today.
When we all succeed, the world becomes a better place to live in. Success is that ability in us to make choices and commitments that will ultimately better humanity and society. It is making a positive impact on humanity that will last for eternity. Success is finding a need and then endeavouring to meet that need in society. It is solving other people’s problems with our God-given abilities. Success means to sacrifice, so that others could benefit from our sacrifice. In order for one to be successful, and also make others successful, personal potential must be unearthed and maximised. The first thing we must do is to embark on a journey of discovering our potential. Each of us is special and endowed with gifts and talents. These gifts and talents should be discovered and sharpened. You will never know how high you can fly, until you move away from the nest of your comfort. Inside each one of us is great potential waiting to be cultivated, developed and put to use. Each one of us is responsible for growing and perfecting the potential within us, from a less perfect to a higher and organised state, structure and function. If we see and think of ourselves as little, we will produce less of our potential. A low or poor self-image will make us believe that we have nothing or little to offer to the world. As a matter of fact, people who believe that they have little to offer to society, sit and contribute nothing.
Gifts and talents are turned into powerful abilities through living a disciplined lifestyle. We must be committed to living a disciplined lifestyle if we want to see our potential grow.
