Let it out...don't give up

Why is it so easy for people to give up on themselves? 

I read this quote the other day: "You are more than what you have done."  And it's true.  Whether you have no education, are a lawyer, a teacher, have a criminal background or whatever your situation may be, there is potential for you to do greater things than what you've already done.  We all have something we're good at, some potential that is waiting inside of us to be exposed.  Maybe it's cooking, singing, cutting hair, writing, drawing, helping others, working on cars, talking, SOMETHING!!!!  Too often I've seen someone drop out of school and later when asked why they didn't finish, they're not able to explain.  I also know people who have reached a certain level of success and for them that's it-they have a job, is making money, and now just going thru the motions of living life.  I believe that no matter what a person's level of success, every second of their life is filled with purpose.  Most will never know what could have been because they never allow their potential to be used, they give up on themselves and simply go thru the motions of living.  Looking at celebrities today I have to say that whether it's for monetary reasons or not, most of them continue to commit themselves to a purpose (non-profit organizations, clothing lines, new perfume collection, endorsements, new work project, etc...).  We all have this ability-to commit ourselves to unlocking our potential to do SOMETHING with purpose (write a book, volunteer at an elderly center, obtain a GED, start a business, etc).  The choice is ours; we just have to decide to do it without giving up, or making excuses of why it can't be done. 
IT CAN BE DONE! 
IT'S JUST WAITING ON YOU TO GET IT DONE!! 
SO WHEN ARE YOU GONNA DO IT?

Unleash your potential....
