A short excerpt from a YouTube video (uploaded by Vishen Lakhiani) featuring Michael Beckwith. Beckwith argues that personal potential is always larger than any problem, and recommends orienting action toward purpose and vision so challenges activate latent potential rather than defeat you.
Chapters
Potential is always bigger than the problem. Your potential is infinite and is always bigger than whatever problem you're going through. And then once you really, sincerely embrace it and your life begins to be okay. When I wake up this morning, I'm going to walk in the direction of my purpose. I'm going to walk in the direction of my vision. So you walk in the direction of the potential and the possibility. Instead of being stuck here, then you're not as pushed as much. The Cosmic 2 by 4 doesn't need to hit you as much. Wow. You're being pulled more by joy, like I'm being pulled by something. Now, it doesn't mean you're not going to have challenges. Of course we're not praying to live a challenge free life. We're praying that the challenges that come activate latent potential.
