The thing about potential is that it is uncapped, unlimited as long as you are alive. When you die, there goes the potential. While alive, you can force your will on the world and actually make things change. When you are dead, there is nothing you can do to impose your will. Potential is only for the living.

Potential does not really diminish all that much. We talk like it does. Younger people are said to have great potential, but the reality is that if you are breathing, you have potential. Potential does not have degrees, because you cannot set levels or categories on infinite space. All potential is unlimited.

Now you can limit yourself. That is easy, you are doing it right now. The thing is that you need to start living, which effectively means accessing potential. If you are truly alive, then you are trying to strive for potential, or perhaps you are dead?

If you do nothing, you get nothing. I learned that elementary school. Multiply by 0 you get 0. Guy
