Knowing your potential is the first step into knowing yourself without knowing what you are truly capable of you can never learn your own desires and passions for life. What is that one thing that no one on the face of this earth can do it exactly the way in which you do it? What is the one thing that is truly effortless to you in any environment under any circumstances? This is how you drill down on your true potential in becoming who you should be, despite not knowing who you are quite yet.
Imagine how many people are chasing after things that if they truly knew the price of setting aside their potential would cost them millions, how many would continue to operate in this self destructive manner? In John Maxwell's book, 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth he mentions a story about five frogs on a log and the question that is asked how many frogs are on the log if four decided to jump off. And naturally most people respond that it would be one frog left on the log. However, John simply says that there are still five frogs on the log, because deciding and doing are two different things.
