The potential of a thing is related to its source.

Your potential is greater than you can ever imagine.

Potential is determined by the demands made on it by its creator.

If you can think it, you can do it.

Your potential is everything you need to dominate any bad habit or addiction.

The wealth of your potential is so rich it requires a lifetime to bring it all out.

Challenge Your Ability

Your ability needs responsibility to expose its possibilities.

Do what you can with what you have where you are.

—Theodore Roosevelt

The people who are blessings to humanity are usually men and women who decide there is more to them than what other people have said. People who bless the world are people who believe there is an ability inside them to accomplish something that has never been done. Though they may not know exactly what they can do, they try because they believe they can accomplish something.

How High Can You Jump?

I remember the day I discovered that I could jump really high—about eight feet high. Now, I can’t jump that high intentionally, but I did it once when I was a little boy.

There was a lady who lived behind our house from whose fruit trees we would occasionally help ourselves and feast upon. When we were little kids, we would crawl under the fence. One day while I was on her side of the fence, her very vicious dog suddenly appeared. I had just touched down after climbing the fruit tree. As I carefully considered the distance between the fence, the dog, and myself, I knew I had to make a run for it. I ran toward the fence with the dog close behind me. As the fence came closer and closer, all I could say was “Oh God, I’m dead.” All I could think was, Jump! As I left the ground, my heart was pounding and my chest felt like an arcade full of shouting people. I was so afraid! When I landed, I was safely on the other side of the fence.

When I turned around and looked at the dog, he was barking angrily because he couldn’t get over the fence. I just thought, Yea, good for you. Suddenly I became very proud because I had gotten away from him. But when I started to realize what I had done, I looked at the fence and thought, How did I do that?

I thank God for that dog. He was a blessing in my life. I never jumped that high before, and I never have since, but at least I know that I did it. I discovered that day there is a lot more potential in me than I realized.

The same is true for you. You aren’t doing more because no one has challenged you. I want to take you from the realm of waiting for people to challenge you and encourage you to challenge yourself. Don’t wait for a dog to teach you how to jump. Jump by your own challenge. Don’t just
