Potential vs. Kinetic Energy
There are two main types of energy – potential and kinetic. Potential energy is energy that is stored, while kinetic energy is the energy an object in motion possesses.
In life, we talk a lot about our potential and often feel defined by perceived potential. Potential is actually defined as “latent abilities that may be developed and lead to future success.” While potential is good, potential without action gets us nowhere.
Instead of talking about our potential, maybe we should focus on our action – the kinetic side. What action are we taking to get where we want to be?
In The Purpose Factor (click on pic for more information), Brian and Gabrielle Bosche talk about how “We are capable of great things, but until potential turns into practice, our impact is invisible.”
As you think about your writing this week, ask yourself, are you storing energy (potential) or taking action (kinetic)? How can you take more action toward increased writing productivity this week?
