That's not you, though, right? You know your priorities and insure that your focus remains clear. You know what you can and cannot do right now as well as what you will and want to do next. Yesterday I was having lunch with a speaking colleague. He said that he wondered if he was living up to his potential currently because he was unwilling to fit all that was possible into every day. Should he really be creating product in those late hours after his children have gone to bed? When he asked for my input, I told him that I try to remember that I CAN have it all, I just cannot have it all at same time. When children are young, they need to be our focus. When they grow up, focus may turn to other more personal pursuits. There is a good time for everything. You cannot squeeze a lifetime into one day. Some things are well saved for ten years from now.

Living up to your full potential is a daily opportunity. When your priorities are clear and your time and energy are focused, you cannot help but live up to your potential. You decide. That is where your power resides.

Goals, intense goals, can keep a person alive when nothing else will. You've all heard of people who lived beyond expectation because they wanted to see a child graduate from college, a wedding, or other important occasion. The mind is VERY powerful. Goals can help you to live longer. No medicine in world is as powerful in bringing about long life, as is desire to accomplish something.
