Potential Quotes

Self-doubt cripples you from performing at your maximum potential.

Potential is...Doing what you have not yet done. Going where you have not yet gone. Becoming the person you have not yet been. Imagining what you have not yet imagined. Reaching what you have not yet reached. Seeing that which you have not yet seen.Accomplishing that which you have not yet accomplished.

The release of your potential demands that you refuse to be satisfied with your past or latest accomplishments.

What you have currently accomplished is only a fraction of what is truly possible for you.

Satisfaction and contentment breeds containment which robbes you of your full potential.

The gap between where you are and where you want to be will always demand a new level of confidence.

If you are continually stretching yourself to maximize your full potential, you should never feel satisfied, content, or comfortable.

Satisfaction and contentment with your current level of success kills your potential.

When you get to the place where you are content with your latest accomplishments, you put yourself into a box of containment that keeps you from accomplishing more.
