Similarly potential realization leads to good stewardship of assets given to us by God. In community development mobilizing the community to potential realization leads to, development, good governance, wisely voting. The bible is also not silent on the issue of potential and talents; in Matthew 25:14-15, a master gives his servants talents to take charge. There were no strangers involved. Therefore, we conclude that true "Talents" are given only to Christians. The master knew the servants well enough to know what their potential were. He didn't give them all the same amount. The servant who got only one Talent did with it: he buried it instead of investing it. This suggests that the master knew him well enough not to trust him with too much. The talents, therefore, are something given in addition to, and in the light of, and also in light of the person's character.
Moreover, self awareness is very crucial in one’s life since it helps one to have to have an ability to choose the response of all situations that come along. The response one takes builds ones character, for instance when the early disciples were faced with persecution, they prayed for strength and finally, they emerged victors.
