POTENTIAL IS NONSENSE !!!!!!!!!

Potential...potential...potential. This word has been used time and time again to describe the power that one seemingly holds imaginatively. I recall the first time I heard this term was in primary school. "You have so much potential. You can get 400 marks so easily if you revise" This term stuck with me, and I won't lie.... I loved being told that I had a lot of potential👼. Psychologically, especially when one is at a negative space, such a statement from a teacher or even just a normal person would change my mood completely. I would get a burst of hope and a sense of worth. I'd feel powerful and no longer defeated...i mean...I have potential.

But as time passes and I keep growing and the more I hear this term, I can finally declare my standpoint on it. Potential is NONSENSE. Potential is imaginative.... Potential is a delusion...... Potential is not action...Potential is fake...Potential doesn't exist👺. Damn, I know that was so harsh and maybe I'm word vomiting but I'll explain myself in a sec.

So, the reason as to why I have a problem with potential is not because I don't believe in it anymore. If anything, now more than ever I do believe that we all hold great power to do anything, as the power lies within us. But here is the catch, Potential is not action. Potential gives one a false sense of accomplishment for something that you haven't done or achieved yet. So, when someone tells you"Omg you have the potential to be the best", it subconsciously makes you like you are the best yet, in real sense, you have not made any strides to be the best yet. Potential sometimes tricks our brains into feeling like we are what we imagine which in this case isn't a good thing. Life requires Action. you need to DO IT.... not have the potential for it. Potential helps nobody, saves nobody and impacts nobody but action...action actualizes potential... action takes you to where you want to be. Don't fixate on potential.

It's the same way when you get a creative idea in your head and then you say" wah...I can do this and that " that's potential. But the million-dollar question is......ok and? ...nani amesaidika? hio potential yako inasaidia nani kama hufanyi kitu chochote? It gives our brains a false sense of accomplishment thus makes one live in the potential state and this is how we end up having unaccomplished dreams every year cause yes you can do it but are you doing it?

Don't allow yourself to live in the potential state. Get out of your head and do it already. If you have the potential to do something, do it right now...sio kesho...sio next week...sio ukipata pesa or all other excuses we give ourselves under the mask of potential. It is action time, and we are finally embracing the act of doing. Do it even if not to perfection. At least you were able to use your potential. So yeah, hope you understood my Pov(point of view) and I hope this inspires you to exit the potential state and enter the action state cause potential without action is NONSENSE 

Go unleash your inner beast now👽!!!!!!!
