Falling Short of Your Potential

Too many people fall short of their real potential. John Powell, author of The Secret of Staying in Love, estimates that the average person only reaches 10 percent of his potential, sees only 10 percent of the beauty that is around him, hears only 10 percent of its music and poetry, smells only 10 percent of its fragrance, and tastes only 10 percent of the deliciousness of being alive. Most neither see nor seize their potential.
