This week, we're focused on the difference between capacity and
potential.
One definition of the word capacity is our ability or power to do, experience
book entitled Capacity. We highly recommend it, by the way. So, life capacity
is our ability or power to experience or understand life.
Increasing our life training, like taking a life coaching challenge like
this, is one way to empower each other to expand our
capacity to live and experience life. We think exponentially. That's where we
came up with the term living life squared.
Now, capacity is often confused with potential. While our current true life
capacity is a reasonably measurable metric, our true life's potential is simply
immeasurable.
It’s incredibly difficult to measure something that keeps expanding every
time we approach it. Ironically, we can never fully see or understand our true potential because of our limited capacity to perceive. Moving toward our true potential is always and will always be an act of blind faith.
Yeah, I use the f-word. Mahatma Gandhi once said, “If I believe that I can do it, I
shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the
beginning.” Now, that's either insanity or it's faith.
This week's challenge is to take some of the blind from blind faith and look
for stories and people who inspire you. Look for examples of amazing expansion
of life's capacity in others. For our faith will expand from inspiration. As our ability to believe expands, so will our life capacity in an amazing and never-ending journey toward our true potential. Good luck with the challenge!
