    Book Review

Reviewed by Yasmin Rasidi for Readers' Favorite

Have you ever asked yourself why you were created? Have you ever asked who you really are? Do you still have time to explore your potential or are you too comfortable with your comfort zone? If you still have no idea what your true potential is, this book really helps you to discover your true potential and explains that your potential is a hidden treasure that must be discovered, explored and exploited. The author, who is also a priest, makes us realize that God created us with our own beauty, uniqueness and potential. However, we often forget to realize the fact. Ironically, we define ourselves (as well as other people) from other artificial attributes such as degree, position or social status as well as wealth, and blame God for our inferiority complex. Honestly speaking, we feel inferior because we still maintain our negative mindset that limits what we actually can achieve. Remember, inability is not disability. We all have strengths and weaknesses, and the most important thing is how to discover the real you and harness your potential with what you have, not with what you wish to have.

Stories of prominent figures are also featured in this book, that of the Rock and Roll legend Elvis Presley, football legend Pele and Booker T.Washington, a former slave who became America's foremost black educator, to name a few. The inspiring stories show us how those great people realized their potential, released it and then overcame any challenge they might have faced in maximizing their potential. I think this book is one of the best motivational books I have ever read. In addition, it also makes me realize how important it is to be grateful for what we have and how we can involve God in helping us discover our real talent. In my opinion, it is a must-read book for those with self-esteem problems.
