There’s nothing scarier than not living up to your potential.
Being thrown into a dungeon of cockroaches set on fire while 10 live gargoyles are scratching their talons on chalkboards while Taylor swift screams the same song over and over on repeat for hours while a man dressed in a cloak up above you holds a crossbow to your head with one hand and is fully jacking off with the other is WAY scarier than not living up to my potential.
Potential is an unmeasurable vector, proof of work is the only thing that matters. “The scariest thing in life is to see what you could have become.”
