I read a very interesting short article ni John C. Maxwell sa net, discussing the points why only few poeple reach their potential when everyone has it in them.Oo nga no, bkit kaya.. Bakit kaya ung classmate natin ng grade school na veledictorian at super top notcher high school and college napunta bilang isang hamak na magbobote? Bakitt kaya tayo, na sinasabihan na aasenso, e nasa sulok lang at nanonood ng tv?

Sabi sa article, there are 4 points. 4 Main points on why people do not reach their potential. These are:

1. Choices
2. Time
3. Price
4. Problems

Choices. Bakita kaya isa to sa mga reason? Because people tend to make choices that hinders them from reaching forward. For example you just got fired from a job, aun tumambay ka nalang at nanood ng basketball all month. U have the potential to lead many people, to win people pero andun ka sa harap ng tv. U chose to stay and hide your talents(Parable of the talents- Mat 25:14-30). 

Time. When we decide and make choices, hindi natin inaasahan na ung time ng pagprocess ng decision natin e ang tagal. Siguro if you broke up with a realtionship for both of you to learn and change, ur expecting to see results immediately. Hmmm, pero people give up when they see the clock ticking for so long. grabe, di makapag antay. Sabi nga sa bible e, God’s timing is really perfect (Ecc 3:11)

Price. Sabi ni JM, for everything you gain, you give up something. Tayong mga tao, madalas e di maibigay ung dapat ialay (ampangit ng word) o i give up para mas makapagimprove tayo. We are afraid to make sacrifices. We also love being on the safe spot. Diba? for example, niyaya ka ng boyfriend mo sa sine at manood ng HP7prt2, and niyaya ka din ng bestfriend mo sa sine manonod naman ng KungFuPanda2. Kayo ni bestfriend e may konting labuan na kelangang pagusapan agad, pero ayaw mo naman i turn down si boyfriend. Aun ang ginawa mo e wala ka sinamahan para walang magagalit sau. Safe ba? oo, pero walang improvement sa life… Sa John 3:16 nga diba, si God daw e nagsacrifice ng anak nya sa cross para sa kaligtasan ng sanlibutan. God made a sacrifice, kasi kung di nya gagawin un, malalaglag tayo sa imperno.. ^^<.

Problems.. Hmmm… Malamang ito ung pinakareason kung bakit hindi talaga lumalabas ung potential. We people tend to fail to see problems as oppotunities and challenges. Madalas kasi pahirap pa ang nakikita natin. Na bakit naman ikaw pa nakasalo epede namang iba. We always SPOT Problems, rather than SOLVE problems.. Diba? For example sa sarili natin, may mga pinagawa satin na walang makatulong, normal people would complain and complain and complain and make themselves super down na ‘Hindi ko po talga kaya’, ‘ang ******** ko kasi e’, and even ‘ang ********** ko naman..’. Instead of looking at things as negative, think like this ‘this will be for my improvement, God wouldnt give me this problem/task if He knows i cant take this.’. Diba? ^^,. Tska sabi ko nga diba, DO NOT WORRY Mat 6:25-34..

With these pointers, I am sure na madami na tayong makakintdi ng mga sarili natin. Kumbaga sa bagay na pinapagawa satin, alam mo na ung schematic and alam mo na ung pasikot sikot kaya alam mo na kung panu ausin at iresolba… Trust God always sa life natin. He has plans for you and me. We just need to show Him that we are willing to reach our maximum potential for HIS name. Dapat Super Saiyan 4 na tayo. ^^,.
