…and then the realization of potential influence occurs. Maybe the realization occurs during a conversation. Maybe the realization occurs during a dream. A realization could occur at anytime during the morning, afternoon, evening, or at night. Individuals capable of developing a realization about potential influence understand both potential and influence.
Considering the meaning of the word potential might be easier than considering the meaning of the word influence. If potential represents a course of action that provides greater benefits, then consideration of potential can begin by examining two distinct points in time. For this example, evaluating potential will involve a comparison of two distinct points of time based on different courses of action. For this example, definitions of influence can consider examples of constant action, intermittent action, a single action, or even sporadic action.
Combining the two words potential and influence build on the concept of examining two distinct points in time while at the same time considering examples of constant action, intermittent action, a single action, or even sporadic action. At the same time potential influence has to be evaluated against different standards of scale. Potential actions can occur at different levels of influence including individual, group, society, and global.
One potential realization about the world at large could involve accepting that the earth is not at a complete standstill. For example the earth is moving in three different ways. First the earth is rotation everyday producing night and day. Second not only is the earth rotating, but also at the same time the earth is orbiting the sun producing years. Third the earth is also part of a galaxy that is moving through the currently expanding universe.
What is the maximum potential influence of one individual? Individuals cannot stop the movement of the universe. It is extremely unlikely that a single individual could stop the earth from rotating or orbiting the sun. Perhaps it would be better to focus on what are the minimums of an individual’s potential influence.
