UP: Untapped Potential in All of Us!

UP...Untapped Potential and Possibilities

Potential is hidden in every person, object, and situation, it just needs to be uncovered.

Maya Angelou's life story illustrates this beautifully.

Growing up in the racially segregated South, she used the prejudice she faced as fuel for her success. Revisiting her roots with a reporter who also grew up nearby, she reflected on how that adversity ignited her fire. Until we challenge ourselves, we don't truly know our capabilities. Like someone who may feel confined by their circumstances, such as being in prison, there’s always more to offer.

Audrey Hepburn’s audition for Roman Holiday is another example of this quiet potential coming to life. Initially a shy dancer, she bloomed into a cinematic icon. Her journey reminds us that sometimes, we need the right moment or challenge to reveal our full potential.

Even small things hold promise, take an acorn, for example. Something as simple as foraging for acorns can uncover nature’s fun, reminding us that growth, like foraging, is a patient process.

The key to unlocking this potential, whether in ourselves or the world around us, is to look deeper.

When we push past our perceived limits and biases, we can discover greatness in even the smallest things.

Meee With Conor Warren...

This month, on our latest Just Meee podcast, we are delighted to be joined by Conor Warren. 

It’s so refreshing to hear the amazing work that Conor is doing for the 'Youth Voice', through his wonderful organisation ’Spark UK’. Here Conor shares his thoughts on potential:

“Potential is something we often overlook, both in ourselves and in others. For me, discovering my potential has been a journey of curiosity and growth.

I’ve learned that it’s not about waiting for the perfect moment or feeling completely ready, it’s about diving in, trying new things, and challenging myself. Every day presents an opportunity to stretch beyond what I thought was possible, to learn, and to become better.

I also see potential in the people around me, in their unique talents and untapped strengths. It’s exciting to think that we all carry this quiet power within us, just waiting to be awakened.

The key is to be open, to keep exploring, and to never stop believing in what’s possible. Potential exists in everything, we just have to be
brave enough to find it”.

Thank you Conor.x

Live Your Dash...

In Chapter 54 of 'Meee In A Minute', titled 'LIVE YOUR DASH', Sid encourages us to embrace life’s mystery and make every day count.

If you've ever walked through a cemetery, you may have noticed gravestones with a birth year and year of death, separated by a dash, like 1963-2024. That dash represents an entire lifetime.

Sid recalls a couple who sold everything to travel the world and truly live their dash. What will yours look like? Take a minute™️ to reflect on your story.

Making The Most Of MICK!

Last month, I was reminded of life's fragility, losing another dear friend, Mick, to cancer. Mick was a creative spirit, always laughing and never letting anything dampen his imagination.

This month, we honour him with MICK:

M: Make it count – treasure every moment.

I: Ignore the negativity – don't get stuck in things that don't matter.

C: Care for what truly matters – family, friends, and the things that bring you joy.

K: Kick down barriers – never settle, always push forward.

Sir Chris Hoy’s recent words, “There’s more to be lived”, resonate deeply. No matter the challenge, seek the light, embrace opportunities, and live your potential.

Thank you, Mick, for the memories, and thank you, Sir Chris, for your inspiring courage.
