Hi, it's Kai

the danger, for those of us who have received the giŠ of Sight, of being able to see Potential is that we are tempted to believe that we are not where we're meant to be in life and that we gotta catch up to where we're supposed to be, and so it's easy for us to get stuck

but Potential isn't where we're supposed to be. we are right we're supposed to be—here. with the experiences we've had and the mistakes we've made. not at our Potential.

if we were at our Potential, it wouldn't be called Potential.

so don't think this way. don't be anxious about where you are on your Journey. that's not the right question to ask—despite the fact that most people seem to like this one. the right question to ask, is whether or not this is the right journey. and for some reason, people really don't seem to like this one. maybe because it's scarier. it's the hard one.

makes you feel like you could lose everything, makes you miss the feeling of simply questioning whether or not you're making good progress.

every moment, is a new moment. with new possibilities. an opportunity for you to do something dierent. so totally dierent from anything you've ever done. like chat up that stranger next to you. pretend you're from another city. pretend that you're not from here. ask them if they can bring you to their next social. help you make some new friends.

so really, that thing you so dearly cling to as your Potential, is just one of an in‡nite number of Potentials. we humans like to trick ourselves into thinking that we won't learn anything that completely changes our trajectory, on the road between now and what we imagine in our head as our Potential. our Ideal Self, living in our Ideal Life. but—they will. sooner than we think. for some of us, that's an every week ordeal.

so forget about all of that. let go of all the anxiety, all the insecurity. the trying to control how things will go all the time. it's not worth it. don't obsess about whether you've fallen behind on your Journey.
