the concept of potential is void because you only prove as much potential as you realize

 

don’t think potential. think PREDICTION

 

would you put your money on it?

do you put your money on it? do you have skin in the game?

unless you do — it’s void

 

see that’s the problem with “potential”.

it is hope instead of prognosis

it is emotional instead of logical

it is wishful instead of objective

 

don’t say “I have potential”

you have fuck all

don’t say someone has potential

either put your money where your mouth is — LITERALLY investing in that thing, in that person — or put them in their place

 

 

it’s an insidious concept — “potential”!

it’s just another layer of delusion sheltering us from reality

you can keep on hiding behind yours, or someone else’s “potential” — up until it’s too late

then you’re “disappointed”

get rid of “potential” and you should not know “disappointment”

 

so don’t speak of potential

it’s a void concept

don’t think in such terms

give up hope too

be objective my friend

do what you can do

do what must be done

it’s either done — or NOT done!

be simple, realistic, objective

obviously you will be FAR better off this way
