My biggest insecurity, without question, is that I’ll never live up to my potential.
The idea of laying on my deathbed thinking “I could have done so much more” is crippling to me.
And the problem with that, is that the easiest way to cope with this fear, is to constantly live in the potential.
Ideas, plans, dreams -they all have potential.
And as long as I don’t execute on them or go after them, then they always have the perfect veneer of potential.
My fear is that if I do go after them, I either won’t reach that potential and I’ll fall short.
Or (worse) I will reach it and I’ll still be insecure or unhappy.
Maybe you feel this way, maybe you don’t.
We’re all just doing our best.
