Chasing 26 - Potential

We are moving into the last chapter of Chasing Daylight called “Awakening”.

“There is so much talk about potential in our culture, as if it’s the end-all of success. Has anyone ever said to you, “He has so much potential”? If you’re under twenty- lets give you twenty five - consider it a compliment. Potential - your untapped or unlocked capacity. Potential - the hint of greatness not yet developed. “He has so much potential” - a statement of praise and maybe even adoration. And then you’re thirty, and you still have all this potential. Pressing forty, and you’re still full of potential. If you’re forty-five and someone looks at you and says “You have so much potential,” pause, excuse yourself, step into a closet, and have a good cry.” Chasing Daylight pg. 237

It’s easy to have potential but to materialize potential into something of substance is another story!
I have the potential to be a great father, husband, friend, businessman or man of faith but that will not and is not happening without tons of hard work, sacrifice and toil.

To start actualizing our potential is going to take continual deliberate choices with our eyes fixed on a pre-established vision. I encourage you to get with God and to re-align or re-establish vision for you and your family.

Potential is still this side of the line... lets cross over!
