Unlock your potential - think outside the 20% box. |
Scientists have determined (a real scientific statement) that humans only use approximately 20% of our brain capacity. This leaves us with two questions: how do we access the remaining 80% and if we can only use the 20%, why create the other 80% to begin with?
Perhaps, the intention was not to utilize the remaining 80% at all, rather to serve an entirely different purpose - a message. Our 20% functioning was designed for us to internalize the lesson of how much more potential we truly possess.
It is an undisputed fact that we are created with limitations, and our brains' capabilities is a clear case in point. Yet, this should not deter us in our efforts to achieve in life. Quite the opposite. It should remind us that regardless of the limitations, the overwhelming potential that remains dormant is far greater. And although we may not be able to tap into that wealth of potential, the message is that we always have more to offer. More strength and more ability.
Potential is all around us. In nature. In life. In us.
