The Difference Between Having A Potential And Being Successful



How many times in life so far would you have heard the words, "He/She is good. But he/she can be even better"?

Initially, it sounds good, ranging to tolerable, ranging to perpetually annoying and then ultimately preposterous.

We always face that problem- (By 'we', I mean people similar to a 'despicable me') - being too lazy to put to use our entire potentials.

And it's not as if we aren't aware of the magnitude of our potentials. We're just too lazy, too much of a procrastinator. So much so that it has become an addiction.

So, basically, the difference between having a potential and being successful seems to zero down on the procedure- action, or work.

Theory was never a problem for me. But practicals were a headache.

So how do we find a solution? How do we find that spark to light up the fire in our asses? Much more tempting an option for our lazy fraternity is, how do we find that external force?

A man or an idea?

"We're told to remember the idea and not the man. Because a man can fail. He can be killed and forgotten. But 400 years later, an idea can still change the world."

So, we need an idea. Either external or internal. Either in the form of an advice or an obligation or a compulsion.

But we hate all of them- advices, obligations, compulsions.

So, that leaves us with the only option- an internal calling.

Spirituality, perhaps? Or just plain old introspection.

I'd tried both. Nothing worked so far. Even trying them out requires action. And it's a pain.

Couldn't things just materialize through mere thought?

I wonder if most schizophrenics were once in our great fraternity. It appeals so much to the mind of the epitomes of laziness- creating our fantasy world and letting everything materialize on its own.

So is that the solution? Becoming a schizophrenic?

Wild thoughts.

Whenever was it said that lazy people weren't wild? They might not be so in action, but in thoughts, they are among the most adventurous creatures on earth.

There you go, then. The bridge between the potential and success could well be a mental disorder.

Awaiting many more 'rational' ideas.




P.S. Joblessness is the mother of all invention.
