Lovely morning.There are many definitions of adulthood, and one of them might be giving up your potential. But when you were a child, did you ever think, “Adults can do whatever they want”? Or if you have children yourself, have you ever been told that adults can do anything they want? When you think about it, for children, adults may have been the ones they longed to be able to do whatever they wanted to do. But before we know it, we are getting older and when we are old enough to be considered an adult, we start to think that there are no more possibilities in our lives or that we can no longer start something new.
This is a very unfortunate and wasteful situation, because it means that we have given ourselves a reason not to be able to fulfil our great potential. Of course, the world we live in is constantly changing, so what didn’t work yesterday may work today and vice versa. Past successes do not guarantee future successes, and past failures can drag you down in the future, but they can also make you successful in new things. And when you grow up and want to achieve something or, conversely, start something, it can actually be your accumulated experience that helps you. Essentially, gaining experience and accumulating knowledge makes you more flexible.
Of course, as we grow up, there are more and more things for us to be involved with, such as interacting with many people, social relationships, building and supporting a new family, etc. However, this does not stop you from believing in your own potential, but if you are willing to change yourself, if you are willing to change your own mind in this life you are living, you will definitely be able to change. If we can look for what makes our heart happy within ourselves, even if it is not something big, and if we can have faith in our wonderful talents and have the desire to keep changing, then maybe the world we live in will change for the better. It might be a good idea to suddenly remember that feeling you had as a child when you thought “it’s nice to be an adult”.
