Stop chasing people’s potential, it’s not enough. You fell in love with who you wanted them to be, not who they were, you are infatuated with who they made you think they were and not who they showed you they were. Potential sometimes tricks us into falling for the hype, making us believe that we found or got the next best thing but until a person potential meets consistent action, it’s all just fools gold. It’s nothing wrong with believing that someone can become or be something but at some point you have to stop believing that their potential is their reality because it’s not. Some people never become or turnout out to be who their potential made us believe them to be but for some reason we love going against the grain and forcing ourselves into believing that their potential is their reality. Everyone doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt because the minute you start doing so they will have you doubting your own judgment once their potential and their reality don’t align. Sometimes the potential is just too good to be true because it paints a false narrative of people and it set standards too high for them to ever meet. Falling for someone’s potential will forever have us chasing a felling that’s just unrealistic and questioning ourselves and asking was it really worth it. It’s nothing wrong with loving what the potential of someone looks like but don’t bank on that to be your reality because that reality check just might bounce… #thisisknowledge (at Potential) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQciBWSn1XE/?utm_medium=tumblr -- source link
