Owning My Potential

It's fortunate that life will graciously remind me of previous lessons learned, like this one that I experienced almost four years ago:

Have you ever been in a room full of people and yet felt so completely alone or in complete solitude and still felt the people you love most are right there with you? State of mind, perception, how do I choose to feel about this moment ~ being reminded of these processes made me realize I had almost reverted back to letting what I do as a profession define who I am as a person instead of letting who I am define what I do in any capacity! My path is always there, each day, to make of it whatever I want in that moment and time. That is my purpose...to keep being my best self, to do what I know is good and kind, to believe!

"Whenever you follow your potential, you always become your best. Whenever you go astray from the potential, you remain mediocre. The whole society consists of mediocre people for the simple reason that nobody is what he was destined to be ~ he is something else."
