Before you ever begin walking the path of accomplishment, you must first harbor the opportunity for it's completion. We call that, potential. I'd always thought of my potential as a redemptive quality. No matter how I might waste my time, or efforts, I'd still always bank on the knowledge that there is so much I could do. So much I could be. I thought of my potential as a blessing, a gift, something that made me special and important just by existing. That was, until I put my efforts into realizing such potential. Then I felt chained by it's oppression. Knowing of everything I could do, but not properly channeling my capabilities into the realities I demanded of myself. Feeling like I couldn't give up, but also, not capable of forging the future I rested all my dreams upon. It took a lot of self-love to accept that potential is just the road to growing as a person, and so long as you keep pushing and struggling to be a little better than you were before, you are always living as the best version of yourself.
