As todays subject line suggests, I would like to request that you think about going beyond your current potential. Our potential, as a reminder, is the capacity we each possess for what is possible and we have yet to actualize in our lives. 

Embracing our potential is a key component for wrapping up this year, while making plans for all that we want to see unfold in the new year ahead - which is right around the corner!

What I think is very cool is that when each of us fully gives ourselves the room to allow our potential to expand by setting challenging goals that are followed up by a strong plan of execution, the possibilities for our lives are limitless. 

We once again have amazingly arrived at the week which here in the U.S. we stop and say thanks for all we have been given.

With that in mind, I thought I would write a quick note this morning about having gratitude in what goes wrong. Eventually… when we open ourselves up to it… what goes wrong will always lead to something even more right. 

Not so long ago I saw a meme online that said, “When something goes wrong in your life simply yell… plot twist!”  I love that idea because it helps us to ride into the curves so much more gracefully, instead of fighting it every step of the way :) 

It’s probably pretty safe to say that we have all had our hearts broken at one time or another along our way.  From a love that was short lived, to watching the shattering of a family - as I did when parents divorced when I was just 10 - to saying the excruciating eternal goodbye to someone you love as they pass away. 

This month we have been talking about the pitfalls along our journey that can leave us to stop and question everything. Heartbreak sure is one of those falls. It is how we eventually deal with such pain that determines the quality of our lives as well the lives of those who are traveling with us.
