Is it scary because you're afraid you won't live up to the full measure of that potential? That's kind of what was coming out in the test obsession thing.
I can relate to that. I've definitely had my share of angst over wasting my "potential".
Lately, though, I see that potential as a pretty good thing. It means I have a lot of freedom.
I guess how I view the potential varies with how well aligned my current life is with what I want it to be. Lately things are good (ish) because I have this amazing little baby in my life, and I'm taking classes that I love, and I've scaled back on work (which I don't love).
I'll project my process onto you, so I can wish you alignment. :)
