Mishmash Musings

When I was in high school and college, I heard the word “potential” all the time. It was applied to my classmates and to myself by our teachers, advisers, and counselors, and it generally made us feel pretty good. The assumption was that we had the whole world at our feet and we could basically do anything we wanted.

Now that I’m in my 30s, however, no one ever tells me how much potential I have anymore. But why is that? Have I done something to show that I’ll never get beyond where I am now? Have I somehow hit rock bottom, with no chance of ever doing any better? It kind of makes me feel like I’m already washed up or something!

Adults have just as much potential as college students do, so I’m looking forward to seeing what the next 10 years brings my way!
