Hello followers,
Thank Goodness It Is Friday!
It is time for story time.
But before we get to the story, I have to explain one fact and that is that Dan and I did go to a Coast Guard class on the rules and safety on sailing.
Since it is practically the weekend and this tale so happened on the weekend.
I will begin by asking you to picture in your mind, setting out from a dock and entering in a bay with buoys marking the waves as your passing them, and then sailing out into deep waters.
It is awesome having the breeze of the air touching your face as the sails were flapping in the wind.
As I remember, this one Sunday Dan, his friend and girlfriend, and I took off and entered Tampa Bay, looking from a far was the St. Peterburg Pier.
When we left the slip where the boat was docked, it was high tide.
Enjoying the day, with the sun at our back and the wind in our front, the unthinkable happened.
Dan let his friend steer the boat, one second, we were going along with the wind, and the next a full stop.
What!
The bottom of the boat hit a sand dune and it was low tide, and we tried everything, but nothing worked to get freed.
Dans' radio was not working, so we cannot call for help.
There were other boaters out at sea, and we yelled, but no one could hear us.
So, nevertheless we ended up spending the night on the boat up right leaning on one side.
Picture this!
I felt like a piece of bologna on a sandwich, where one side was the wall of the boat and Dan on the other side.
I guess it was not too bad, because Dan was by my side.
Well, Monday came, and I did not show up to work, and I had my mother as the emergency contact.
So, my job called my mother, which in return she called Dans' father, which in return he called the Coast Guard.
That afternoon, we were saved.
Potential is a priceless treasure, like gold.
All of us have gold hidden within, but we have to dig to get it out.

THE WORD OF THE DAY-POTENTIAL
Potential is defined as someone’s or something’s ability to develop, achieve, or succeed.
Many people live their life never discovering who they could have become because they settle for a mediocre life.
Push yourself to do more and to experience more.
Harness your energy to start expanding your dreams.
Yes, expand your dreams.
Do not accept a life of mediocrity when you hold such infinite potential within the fortress of your mind.
Dare to tap into your greatness.

YOU ARE CAPABLE OF MORE
There are many risks on the road to greatness.
You cannot step into your full potential without being challenged, without trying and failing.
To become greater than you are, to step into your power, you have to move forward.
You have to push yourself, to want and reach for more.
There is no way to sharpen your focus, to embrace the challenges of life and overcome them, but you can face them bravely.
You are capable of greatness.
PHRASE TO REMEMBER; Health is Wealth.
This 10-minute guided meditation uses visualization to help you recognize and tap into a deeper understanding of just how supported you are in accessing your infinite possibilities for everything to work out for your highest most loving good.
It is always important to change your routine around you but continue keeping a healthy lifestyle.
Dan and I welcome you to go to the tag words and explore our posts.
Until Saturday, to uncover your true potential you must first find your own limits and then you have to have the courage to blow past them.
