“Focus on your potential instead of your limitations.”
Alan Loy McGinnis, Ph.D, author and family therapist
Translation for Adults
Your potential is the possibility for achievement, whether it’s a daily task or your life goals of health and success. Potential fuels your abilities to accomplish—ANYTHING! All of us have potential, but often it is not utilized to its fullest. You might say it’s put on the backburner. Past failures or new challenges are often the barriers to realize your full potential. Once you lose confidence in your potential and begin to focus on your limitations, you are doomed to failure. The most successful people in the world—Donald Trump, Bill Gates and Martha Stewart—believe in themselves before others believe in them. You must do the same. Put your potential to work; it’s your ally to achieve greatness, whether your goal is big or small.
Translation for Kids
Your potential is what you can become. Believe in yourself. Be confident you can achieve any goal. It may be a small goal, such as removing the trash from the kitchen everyday. It may be a big goal, such as becoming a Black Belt. Use your abilities to reach your potential. Don’t let past failures or new challenges limit what you can do. You must believe in yourself and your abilities. You will do more than you ever thought you could. You have the abilities and the confidence. Your potential belongs to you, and only you. Put it to work and you will achieve greatness.
