You know this very well. That comfort is the conquered frontier. Discomfort is the unconquered frontier. Therefore, if potential has to be excavated, you and I will have to cherish the discomfort.

There is nothing new for growth that is found in comfort, but there is always great reserves of potential that can be exploited when we are uncomfortable.

This goes without saying. Let us see exactly how that is done. Listen to this.

There are two things about inventions and innovations. First, there is proximity. You invent or innovate with what you have, or around where you are, or where there is a need and a problem to be solved.

Second, there is passion. You invent or innovate in response to the undying passion locked up within you. Either way, one of the best ways to utilize your potential and actually to excavate it is to invent something or to innovate. This doesn't mean that you have to be an Einstein or an Edison.

All you can do in life has not already been done. There is more. Think of new way of doing things ever so often and that's how innovations come to you. Listen to this.

The most sinister thing about potential are the words used to describe it. "Dormant" force. "Latent" energy. "Unused" power. Think about that. The definition does not talk about unavailability. It does not talk about rarity.

If anything, it talks about abundance. One can even talk about neglect when it comes to it. In fact, the world over, one of the most neglected powers we have is the power of potential.

So how can we excavate it? How do we put it to use? How do we make it come to the fore?

So how can we excavate it? How do we put it to use? How do we make it come to the fore? I believe that we can synergize and deploy our potential. Athletes use a system called Pace Makers. Listen to this.

In one of Aesop's fables, we learn a powerful story about familiarity. That we can be so contemptuous when we are "familiar". It is easy for a servant to take a King for granted because they are too familiar with him.

Well, guess what? That is the same thing that we do with our potential. In fact, some people never put their potential to action because they are so contemptuous with it. They didn't get it by blood, sweat and tears...so they see it not as important as compared to a green card to the USA.

I once challenged a radio personality on social media by asserting that IQ is overrated. They shot back and said that they could host me on their radio show to defend my position. I took up the challenge and we had an interesting discussion.
