Have you ever heard that ol’ adage, “The Sky’s the Limit?” When first looking at that phrase, you might think it sounds quite empowering. But, is it really empowerment to set a limit on man’s capability? Are we selling ourselves short if we put a cap or ceiling on our potential?
The word potential is defined as “a latent excellence or ability that may or may not be developed.” Potential is a possibility that sits inside us, just waiting to be realized. It’s an unopened gift…to be unwrapped, developed and perfected!
Humans have accomplished great feats and invented unbelievable creations. There is virtually no limit on the capacity of the human mind. We continue to surprise ourselves everyday with more creative, improved and efficient ways of accomplishing things. Just when you think there’s nothing else that can be invented…along comes another outrageous idea!
The simple truth is, potential is in all of us. It sometimes needs to be “mined” or discovered. We all have unrealized potential and strengths, the key is being intentional in uncovering and refining the possibilities within. What would happen if you got to the end of your life and never “unwrapped” the gifts you’ve been given?
What’s your “unwrapped” gift? Is there an area of talent in either yourself or a staff member that has gone untapped? Don’t be grouped in the category of the sad saps who missed out on the potential for greatness in their lives and their businesses. Have you unknowingly set a “ceiling” for your office’s potential? Isn’t it time to break through the sky?
