Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you’re right—thank you Henry Ford for that advice. In my mind, "thinking that I can" is the first step.
When I think of walking in my greatest potential, my favorite scripture comes to mind.
Ephesians 3:20-21 says this, Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think—in my mind, that’s the picture of potential. When I tap into the power within me, God will exceed my expectations.
Walking in my greatest potential has nothing to do with becoming rich or famous. It has everything to do with utilizing my gifts and passions to support, encourage, and help others to consider their potential.
Walking in my greatest potential means I will seek God’s direction; follow His leading; rely upon His strength; and step to the beat of His drum.
Walking in my greatest potential is always a faith-walk that requires constant self-examination and personal adjustment.
Walking in my greatest potential requires acknowledgement of my shortcomings, faults, failures, admitting when I’m wrong and asking for forgiveness—even when it’s tough.
Today, I commit (recommit) to taking the necessary steps to walk in my greatest potential.
Today, I ask God to strengthen and empower me to accomplish His will and purpose.
