How does one realize their potential?
On one hand it could be that you are
kidding yourself by imagining greatness
but on the other it seems hard to not
test your limit somehow.
I find myself in a situation where taking my
act to the next level would require some
amount of "roleplay" on my part in the spirit
of fake it till you make it. I am trying to
work out a scheme where I don't have to
take part in the cancerous structures.
In some ways it might even be an advantage
not to have to spend time on polishing your
social media profiles in order to advance
your business.
I have a vague sense of imposter syndrome with
it. But in a weird way. I have so much contempt
for the game that to win it, even on my own terms,
would somehow seem like being infected by it.
The fact that people need money for survival
makes such ponderings less compelling of course.
And surely, at the moment I am not earning
in a way that is 100% aligned with my
moral intuitions.
