Potential is a gift, and we each get to decide what to do with it. We can play it safe and let others talk about all the potential we have, or we can risk pushing the limits of what we're capable of. I have "Die Empty" tattooed on my arm as a constant reminder of which path I'm choosing. It's not about working myself into the ground or chasing every opportunity. It's about faithfully using the gifts I've been given while I still have the chance. I can run hard all the way to the grave, knowing Jesus has already conquered it. That frees me to take big swings in this life, knowing that even if I miss, I already know how the story ends.
