Potential is one of the most wonderful words in any language. It looks forward
with optimism. It is filled with hope. It promises success. It implies fulfillment.
It hints at greatness. Potential is a word based on possibilities. Think about your
potential as a human being and you get excited—at least, I hope you do. What a
positive thought. Do you have personal potential? Absolutely. Your personal
potential is what you could be—the person you can become.
Since you are reading these words, I believe you also have the desire to reach
your potential. So now the question becomes, how do you do it?
The answer is growth. And to grow, you must be highly intentional. This
book is my effort to help you learn how to grow and develop yourself so you
have the best chance of becoming the person you were created to be. My desire
is to help you develop the right attitude, learn more about your strengths, tap into
your passion, become more in touch with your purpose, and develop your skills
so you can be all you can be.
What exactly do I mean when I write about growth? That will be as unique as
you are. To discover your purpose, you need to grow in self-awareness. To
become a better human being, you need to grow in character. To advance in your
career, you need to grow in your skills. To be a better spouse or parent, you need
to grow in relationships. To reach your financial goals, you need to grow in your
knowledge about how money works. To enrich your soul, you need to grow
spiritually. The specifics of growth change from person to person, but the
principles are the same for every person. This book offers fifteen ways for you to
grow so that you can reach your potential. Each is a key that unlocks a door to a
better future. You will have to put in the work to actually grow.
My recommendation is that you tackle a chapter of this book every week.
