521: Natural potential needs unnatural work to bring to mastery

521: Natural potential needs unnatural work to bring to mastery

What is our potential? I think we’d all agree we have more in us. How much more? 5%? 30%? 70%? That answer is not as important as the reality that whatever potential we have, it will not add up to much if we don’t work hard at it. But in our natural skills, talents, and abilities, we find the potential for mastery. In areas we do not have many inherent giftings, it will be hard, if not impossible, to find that mastery. In this show, we listen to a short message from Zig Ziglar on finding your full potential. From what I asked my facebook page at ‘agentkmiller’, “What is a skill, ability, or talent you have, that you've worked hard to increase and grow?” The comments were significant and pointed to some truths about having potential, and clarified that they are near nothing until we grow and refine them.
