Lean on Me … I will proclaim the name of the LORD.  Oh, praise the greatness of our God!  He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just.  A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.  Deuteronomy 32:3-4 (Jesus said) “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, [...]

Whenever I am asked what I believe the goal and purpose of life is, my answer is the same, and it’s the theme of this issue. Of all the great pursuits in life, to me this is the most important. Every virtue, treasure and reward in life is obtained only through this quest. What is it? It is living your potential. Robert Louis Stevenson said it more than a hundred years ago: “To become what we are capable of becoming is the only end in life.” But what is potential? Webster’s dictionary defines potential as possible (as opposed to what's currently actual) capable of being or becoming or a latent excellence or ability that may or may not be developed. So potential then is what you can become. It is the best possible version of yourself. The first challenge, I believe,...

Whenever I am asked what I believe the goal and purpose of life is, my answer is the same, and it’s the theme of this issue. Of all the great pursuits in life, to me this is the most important. Every virtue, treasure and reward in life is obtained only through this quest. What is it? It is living your potential. Robert Louis Stevenson said it more than a hundred years ago: “To become what we are capable of becoming is the only end in life.” But what is potential? Webster’s dictionary defines potential as possible (as opposed to what's currently actual) capable of being or becoming or a latent excellence or ability that may or may not be developed. So potential then is what you can become. It is the best possible version of yourself. The first challenge, I believe, to living our potential—is realizing the greatness that is dormant inside of each of us. Thomas Edison said, “If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.” Dale Carnegie also taught, “We all have possibilities we don’t know about. We can do things we don’t even dream we can do.” Why don’t we then? I think what stops most of us from tapping our inner genius; the hero or heroine inside each of us is fear. We are actually afraid of our greater potential. 19th century philosopher Soren Kierkegaard said it this way, “There is nothing of which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.” I know I am constantly challenged by the philosophy espoused by Marianne Williamson when she says, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t...
