Hi ,

Now onto the "little extra" for today: What is Your Potential? Pace vs. Potential Have you ever noticed a strange thing when you get off the highway onto an off ramp or side road? On the highway you're doing about 100 miles an hour, and the speed limit on the side road says 60 miles an hour. You hit the brakes, and think you may have slowed down to 60mph. Yet, you're still doing 80mph. Horrors! You were
sure you'd slowed down enough and yet you haven't. You're experiencing pace vs. potential. If you were driving at 60mph before you hit the off ramp, you'd do 60mph quite easily. It's because you were oh-so-fast, that you ended doing an 80. But how the heck are you going to ever do an 80 in your life, if you don't hit 100? Because when you're on 100, even your hit-the-brake speed is a
good 80. People hate to be pushed They want to go at their own pace. They
believe they know what's good for them. Yet your life is like a car. You don't know your potential till you really hit the accelerator. You don't know how far you can go unless you hit feel the tires steaming up. Look around you. The little ol' lady in the next lane is still getting to her destination, but
she'll get there whenever. At her own pace. Pace is great. But potential, ah...now that's when you really know the stuff you're made of. Hmmm.. what does this mean for me? Read the rest of the article: Love, Marlene Oh yes, a link to the image: |
