Potentially Mine

potential-existing in possibility, capable of becoming actual; something that can develop or become actual.

Is potential realized by the amount of effort someone exerts or is it by chance, being in the right place at the right time?
Will or can we ever come to know our true potential? Or do we try to answer that by what others perceive of us?
By our own standards we measure potential by monetary success, academic success, and in some cases spiritual success. But where does the culmination of our potential truly lie? Am I to understand who I am and what I'm capable of through success or failure? The answer....BOTH.
Science teaches us, for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Given this fact, we must be aware of the fine line that separates each opposing force. While success is attaining a desired end. And through that process of attainment, it mat or may not involve work to achieve said ending. Failure seems to teach us more about our weaknesses or inabilities through the same effort or lack there of. The potential of success or failure is equal at all times and 'our' potential is realized in both no matter the subject matter.
It's apparent that effort is the key component, added with belief(or faith) to achieve your ultimate potential thereby obtaining success in oneself. As for failure, effort is the key component as well and in many cases, it's the lack thereof, combined with fear which tends to be the opposite of faith(belief) that will be the deciding factor of a successful failure.
So here's the truth, failure, due to your best(100%) effort will always give you a sense of success because of the peace of mind it carries with it. This is what(or should) drive you and push you to your ultimate potential. You are whom you desire to be, whether a great success or a successful failure, on any level.
THE KEY IS IN YOUR HANDS, TO REMAIN LOCKED OR TO UNLOCK YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL.
