INTERPRETATION of TODAY’S QUOTE
“That’s right! It’s a thought-provoking quote by Margaret Atwood. It suggests that there’s a limited window to develop our talents and pursue our goals. Here are some ways to interpret it:
- A nudge to take action: Unexplored potential can stagnate. The quote might be a reminder to not let our dreams sit on the back burner for too long.
- A call to be mindful of time: We all have a finite amount of time on earth. This quote could be a prompt to be intentional with our choices and make the most of our opportunities.
- A recognition of life’s circumstances: Sometimes external factors can limit our ability to reach our full potential. The quote acknowledges that life isn’t always fair.
Atwood’s quote can be a bit melancholic, but it can also be motivating. It emphasizes the importance of taking initiative and making the most of the time we have.” (Gemini ai)

INSIGHTS for SUCCESS
Something we don’t always think about and appreciate – one’s potential is time sensitive. While it may be true, as George Eliot’s famous quote states, “It is never too late to be what you might have been,” it is also true that if you wait too long, what you might have been will no longer remain exactly the same in terms of vitality and possibilities. While there is always a good time to do it, if you possibly can, the best time to become committed to fulfilling your potential is earlier rather than later.
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference.” Zig Ziglar
“A sobering thought: what if, at this very moment, I am living up to my full potential?” Jane Wagner

“Potential has a shelf-life.” Margaret Atwood
Have you ever believed that you had a potential to do something or develop some skill, but you never followed up on that belief?
If so, what was that potential, and if you decided to follow up on it starting today, how do you think things would work out in terms of now developing that potential?
“There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.” (John Stuart Mill)
