I often contemplate the idea of potential, either aspiring to reach my own or helping someone find theirs. I read an interesting article recently by Dr Robert Anthony, a human performance expert, who made a very profound distinction between Potential and Capacity. The major difference is that potential is based in the future and Capacity in the present.

Your Potential is based on you becoming something other than who they are in the present moment. Capacity is based on the present moment, and already exists. Capacity is defined by doing what you can do today - in this moment.

So for now, I am going to put my potential aside and focus on my capacity
in this moment. The key is to do what you can do right now, even the smallest
step will bring you closer to your desire.
