Maximising Your Potential

Each of us is unique. Like snowflakes that look the same but under the microscope are different, we each have our own specialness that nobody else possesses. We have our own physical attributes, our own mental make-up, our own environmental background, and our own cultural inheritance. But more than all these, we have our own special, unique, and un-copiable talents. These talents are our gifts for life on earth. Some of us search in vain for their own special talents and never realize them fully before they die. Others come to them late in life after journeys that take them down dead-end streets. And others discover them early and are able to develop their special talents for their own joy and that of others.

This book will guide you on your own self-development through life. It will show you how to find out where your talents lie; how to use them to set goals; how to realize those goals through self-programming; what qualities you need to nurture your talents and bring them to fruition; and why developing your potential can be the most wonderful journey you will ever take. This book is quite simply your companion to fully realizing who you are.
