The Dangers Of Having Potential ,how It Can Ruin Your Life by Nobody: 2:26pm On Feb 28, 2020
You see I'm sited here and I'm just reminiscing on my life in perspective. I am looking at the whole rollercoaster of my reality, trying to figure out how or when I got it all WRONG!
You see when people see potential in you, I mean a quality that makes you stand out from the crowd..a quality that's so glaring that anyone who lays eyes on you gets easily drawn to you. That to me is a very scary thing! I mean it could also be a very beautiful thing but in my case it became scary and now sour. I have two friends, two very attractive Male friends who have very identical realities as mine. They often get complimented about their looks, people gaze at them unerringly in the midst of a crowd, and everyone easily wants to start a conversation with them because at first glance they look like that one person you would love to hang out with daily. Now that is exactly my experience and perhaps why we are all friends because we all see that quality in each other when around each other. But here is the thing, that same quality to me is why we have all become delusional, lazy and very narcissistic in nature. We feel the world revolves around our feats and lack any real desire to become better. We often dream of a life of wealth, fame and adventure while doing almost nothing relevant about it. We all have no skills, talent or dregree. We just dream and because we look like what we dream about naturally we almost get lost in the idea that we are living our dreams each passing day..and yes society do their part in fuelling our delusions of grandeur. I am a fucking loser, a dreamer, a very intelligent and passionate Male who has got his whole life all wrong because he couldn't harness his potential for good.
Now what the Bleep is "potential", I wont bore you with the definition but u can look it up yourself. People often said I have potential, everyone saw something in me..everyone wanted to be around me or have a conversation with me. I got lost in all the attention and did nothing productive with my life, rather I dreamt of a life where I was king! Now look at me, sweating like a goat in my bed and wondering where the hell I got it all wrong at 30 years old. And the funny thing is people still treat me the same but these days I feel too old and wretched to even raise my stupid shoulders high. Bleep me, Bleep my stupid life.

I agree and most times this is the epigenetics of narcissitic development on charcater formation.

A flawed view of oneself. ( Seeing oneself thru the comments/opinion of people not by impact and value one can create ).


The more the external praise on the so called talent, the deeper the root of narcissim forms. Deluding the revipient that life revolves around them.


The aftermath of these creates a scenario were such individuals then forfeit their own development because their lives is more about the praises and chants and it doesn't take till later in life when evaluation is done, before the individual achieves realization and awareness


Other vices accomoany this condition:


1. Shunning down people assuming they have no worth in the aftermath loosing people who could have heen of value


2. Remaining locked up in a world of fantasy where the individual looks at their laurels but have dissociated themselves from meaningful relationships. After this, toxic dissociative personality complexities begins to form

Though we have had our differences in the past and we've been at loggerheads so many times before, I still must confess that this is the most intelligent article of yours...It deserves the FP. Its not too late buddy, you can still be everything you ever dreamt of. Kindly send a PM if you are interested in information tech. I'm also not perfect but I feel like I'm just an inch away from my prophesies.
Regards bro.

So, the "quality that makes you stand out from the crowd..a quality that's so glaring that anyone who lays eyes on you gets easily drawn to you" is not some ability you have, but that you "get complimented about their looks, people gaze at them unerringly in the midst of a crowd, and everyone easily wants to start a conversation with them because at first glance they look like that one person you would love to hang out with daily"?

Essentially, your so called "potential" is not some skill or ability you have, but just because, 'you fine'?

I must say this is one instance where I would say you would benefit from having some Jesus Christ in your life because that would have taught you to not store the sort of "potential" you have that moths would eventually eat!

And I'm certain you would have heard of the folly of loving human praise more than praise from God.

Do not despair. It's never too late to acquire a skill or ability.

....... You just gave a brief description of wrong definition of ALPHA MALEISM some guys delude themselves about.


On the issue of having potentials, I partly agree that having potentials could be distracting, if one focus on the accolades and sense of self rather than the applicability of such potentials.

This is a deep thread only deep people can understand
The only people that will understand a thing on this thread are people with same or similar experiences.
This is the story of people who thought they will be somewhere at 30. Only to discover that they are nowhere at 31
So they wondered why they are still in such a state with all their visions potentials?

It is a deep thread no doubt.
But I think the problem is not the potentials.

For me, the real problem is one's level of AMBITION!
Being too ambitious can be very dangerous!

You got it wrong at AMBITION.
That's why you fail to develop your potentials. Fix Ambition and you will find yourself acquiring skills, making plans and taking actions that will help you achieve your set goals.

It is not too late to start all over again.
Get some personal development books to help you awaken the giant in you.

Here are some recommendations from my personal library:

1. Think And Grow Rich -- Napoleon Hill

2. As A Man Thinketh -- James Allen

3. Goals -- Brain Tracy

4. The Science Of Getting Rich -- Wallace D Wattles

5. Laws Of Success -- Napoleon Hill

These books have the potentials to change your life forever.

You can download the PDF via Google

All the best brother
