Summary

What is our potential? I think we’d all agree we have more in us. How much more? 5%? 30%? 70%? That answer is not as important as the reality that whatever potential we have, it will not add up to much if we don’t work hard at it. But in our natural skills, talents, and abilities, we find the potential for mastery. In areas we do not have many inherent giftings, it will be hard, if not impossible, to find that mastery. In this show, we listen to a short message from Zig Ziglar on finding your full potential. From what I asked my facebook page at ‘agentkmiller’, “What is a skill, ability, or talent you have, that you've worked hard to increase and grow?” The comments were significant and pointed to some truths about having potential, and clarified that they are near nothing until we grow and refine them.

They were incredibly rich, but first let's start you

off with a kickoff with Mr. Zigzigler. Around the turn of the century down in South Texas just outside of Beaumont, there was a farmer selling much of his land.

He was having to sell it simply because times were so tough he couldn't feed his family.

One day an oil company representative came along and said, sir, you know, we think there might be oil on your property.

royalties on every barrel that we pump out. Well he had nothing to lose a great

deal to gain so he said let's do it. Well they drilled for the oil and in those days the dareks were made out of wood.

1:45.0
