In the dictionary the definition of the word ‘potential’ says: "set of necessary for the realization of a purpose funds, resources and more who are willing to take effect." In other words - it is our arsenal of hidden qualities and skills which help get closer to our dreams. Everyone has potential. Often it remains locked between fears, prejudices and doubt. Sometimes it is difficult because we are looking for concrete steps towards application of our potential into action before we understand exactly what our potential is. But how to use it and put into action before realizing its essence and core?
Self-awareness? It is a process of awareness of our own personality, our own possibilities, intentions, desires, goals and consequences of our actions, its role regarding the objective world. But is it possible in our modern world?
Maybe the authoritarianism in our social state, does not allow a person to realize their own potentials, their own freedom to be. Human alienation of man from himself, caused by the influence of society, leads to a feeling of boundless and emptiness. In fact, it appears that feelings and behaviors of people, which they believe to be their own, are often dictated by society. That society is deeply rooted in their nature and suppresses the expression of human being.
Or maybe the problem is deep inside us.
Or maybe we shut ourselves in a cage because of conscious and subconscious prejudice and negativity, fear of failure, which imprison our potential and close our eyes. The suppression of spontaneous feelings and the obstacle for development of true individuality make people more unsatisfied and a lot more lost than they are. The belief in ourselves is a powerful engine in our mind. If we believe that we have potential and do not want it to remain hidden within us, then the brain and all our senses will start working on its demand and deployment.
Maybe sometimes it is enough to open the door of our “fears, prejudices and doubts in our abilities” and just free our true identity, our uniqueness, our genius from the cage of our own sub consciousness.
