I came across a super intelligent & sweet girl’s blog, Maddie, who said “potential” is a bad word. This made me curious. She has a great argument for why using the word “potential” can seem bad. In essence, her point is that when you are told you have “potential,” there is an immediate fear of that potential being wasted.
Fear
This fear creates stress that can paralyze us from taking steps forward. Everyone has fear. And that’s okay. Instead of feeding into fear, evaluate where your energy is being spent. The one thing we can’t get more of is time. With your limited time, are you cultivating your potential in someone else’s dream?
Is it your dream or goal?
When we are young, we are easily moldable. Often we want to please our parents, friends, or other adults around us. What if you are told you have great potential in many areas? This can sound amazing, but it also can be stressful. Sometimes when we juggle too much, everything in our hands falls. (This guy is hilarious by the way! 😂)
Potential and Passion
Potential should hold the hand of passion. Identify what you are passionate about. What difference(s) do you want to make. Passion should be the root of your dreams and goals. Passion will win out over fear any day. Always make time for your passions. It only takes one step at a time. You may surprise yourself at what your potential may be.
In summary, when you pursue your passion, your potential will never be wasted. The sky is the limit.
P.S. This is what happens when you juggle passion, potential, and your dreams/goals together.

I have read Maddie’s post. Her post has wonderful and logical thoughts. You have crafted this well in your post too. I feel that your focus is more on mitigating the negative essence of being potential and convert it to a strength. Thanks for this well-thought-out post.

I was just reading about feaar on Dr Andrea’s site – she had a very interesting way of reframing it into a positive. I went to look for the link to send you but I’ve lost it somewhere!

Thanks, Ben! I’ve heard that from other people (about my energy). What a great compliment! Energy definitely affects my life. 95% of the time it’s positive, so that helps a ton! I do have a good life, but I think life isn’t easy. It’s what you make of it, right? 😀 I think you have great and calm energy which probably helps you have a good life too.
