Today I saw a sign that started “Hidden Potential is Moving Next Door…” and I was excited to find out how the metaphor ended. It turned out that “Hidden Potential” was the name of a store, and the sign was just telling me that they were literally moving next door.
But that could so easily have become an inspirational message! “Hidden Potential is Moving Next Door when Everyone Else Tells You to Go Upstairs.” Like, choose your own path, don’t just let the world dish out your fate to you.
So I didn’t. I didn’t even let that sign tell me what it said – I decided for myself! I unlocked some real hidden potential in that sign. And in myself.
Ha!
