When we are first born, we come into this world with immense potential already within us, and we are fully aware of it.
A baby may weigh just a few pounds and measure only a few inches, but we know that they have the capacity to grow and develop over the years, eventually reaching adulthood.
Although they lack the ability to talk and walk, among other things, we know they possess the potential to acquire these skills. That’s why we closely monitor their developmental milestones and do whatever it takes to nurture their growth and help them reach their full potential.
However, at some point along the journey, things change. People start telling us what we can’t do, what’s impossible. The praise and encouragement for achieving milestones gradually fade away. Unfortunately, we begin to internalize these messages and believe them.
Yet the truth remains: we are all still like babies, with untapped potential residing within us. There are countless things we can continue to learn and achieve. There is always room for personal growth.
While it may be that not as many people around you that believe in you, or perhaps there never were, it’s important to remember that success is still possible. We were all designed to thrive, and this potential remains true for each and every one of us until our final days.
Therefore, keep striving, keep progressing. You might be crawling in certain aspects of your life, but with belief, hard work, and dedication, you’ll be walking confidently in no time.
