How Unfulfilled Potential Is Our Greatest Failure At The End Of Life
I never wish I didn’t start, I always wish I started sooner.
Has it ever occurred to you that if you do not tell your story or live up to your fullest potential, you are doing a disservice to those around you?
Most of us think to ourselves, including me. Who cares about my story, who is this Sara chick, and why should we care. I have felt this for so long.
I have always been one to shrink in the back, hideout in the bathroom to make sure that I do not get called on. I remember one time when I did not feel this way it was Anatomy and Physiology class.
I dreamed of taking this class, I knew the teacher was demanding, and I knew that I was obsessed with passing, and I wanted him to think I was smart, why who knows. I had heard that he made nursing students cry every day, and he did.
He also told us that if we did not study and pass his class, we would work in a dead-end job, not living up to our full potential. I thought, well, that is mean, and then I thought he would not win, I will win. I mean, who was winning in the end?
