Hey Guys, Ethan here with another Post From the same book ( Be All You Can Be!)
Did you know that most people only use 10% of their potential? If they use as much as 25%, they would be called Geniuses
How then do we unlock our Potential? Here are a few ways to begin : 1.Look Up The first thing you do is to look up and find a model, someone who is doing a better job than you are. What we need is somebody who is a little bigger and a little better than we are, and we need to spend time with them.
...I play racquetball with a colleague of mine. He is a good racquetball player; in fact he is better than i am, and he always wins the first game. I'm challenged because he's better than i am, so i give it my best. If you have ever played anybody who's worse than you, you know that you start going downhill. You get lazy, and you don't keep your mind on the game. That's what happens to my colleague. By the third game, i win. When you play somebody better, you stretch; when you play somebody worse, you shrink...
So if you want to unlock your hidden potential, spend your time with people who will stretch you. Find somebody who thinks faster, runs faster and aims higher. Those are the people who will lift you up.
-quoted from Be All You Can Be!
Doesn't this somewhat sound familiar? Well it should be familiar, Pastor Kong always urge us to spend time with Eagles and not turkeys It's true that when we play somebody worse, we shrink. Think about the Race between the Tortoise and the Hare. The Hare was better, but it lost in the end, it could not keep it's mind on the race!
Now if you're thinking " i don't play sports nor games, so this can't really apply much to me right?" Fortunately, it applies to many aspects in our life! Think about the areas within your life where you want to get better, get bigger in!
Let me cite and example. you can try it too get 2 balloons, and stretch one over the other so that you are able to blow air into the balloon inside now as you blow the balloon inside, it gets bigger, the rubber stretches wait a minute, doesn't the one on the outside too?
when we hang around people who are better than us in that area we want to get bigger in we get challenged, we get stretched, we grow, we get better and bigger! So go out there and get bigger!
Yours, Ethan
p.s:Just the first point for this post, will be blogging the other points soon =) so stay tuned
