Dynamis
δύναμιςDOO-nah-miss
The inherent capacity or potential power within a thing to become what it is meant to be. In Aristotle's metaphysics, dynamis represents the latent possibility that precedes actualization (energeia)—the acorn's power to become an oak, the student's potential to become a master.
Modern Application
You carry within you capacities that remain dormant until deliberately activated through practice and challenge. Recognize that your current limitations reveal not your ceiling but your unexplored potential—leadership excellence requires you to systematically transform latent dynamis into demonstrated capability. The question is never whether you have potential, but whether you will do the work to actualize it.
