Potential Isn’t Given—It’s Built. One Brick at a Time

1 min

"You don't have potential."

That's what my 5th-grade teacher told me.

He was right — but not in the way I thought.

Because potential isn't something you have.

It's something you create:

• Every time you learn from failure
• Every time you take on what scares you
• Every time you push past "good enough"
• Every time you start over
• Every time you keep going when others quit

Potential isn't inherited.
It isn't gifted.
It isn't found.

It's built.

One brick at a time.

And the best part?
It's never fixed. Never finished. Never final.

What's one skill you're building right now?
