Growth Transcends Starting Points

Hidden potential often goes unrecognized due to our tendency to judge it based on initial abilities or circumstances. Many individuals do not realize their potential simply because they lack external support or fail to see their own value. The common mistake lies in equating potential with easy accomplishments; if something comes naturally, we generalize that it indicates high potential. Conversely, struggles and failures often mislead us into believing we lack capability. True potential should be assessed based on the journey of growth and the distance one can travel rather than the starting point. Awareness of this can unveil significant possibilities for personal and collective development.
