Potential, (we 'all' have it...)

Many people do have this thing called, 'hidden' potential...;
meaning, far more potential
than they themselves do, well and truly, know.

On the other hand,
there are the endless put-downers;
who think you are just utterly useless, hopeless;
and, no good...and, will never amount to being absolutely anything.
Who through jealousy, envy, or, even maybe, sheer prejudiced hatred;
are only interested in holding you back;
(through nursing an 'evil' agenda of their own). 

And, too, there is the inside doubts,
that I've never ever done this before...;
so, why on earth should I succeed, right now...?!
Or, maybe, I 'failed' at doing this in the past...;
so, might as well, therefore, quit.

Basically, the gist of what I'm saying is...
it takes an awful lot of fight just to 'start'...;
and, there will always be all sorts of different 'unpredictable' hurdles and obstacles
that one encounters having to face along the way;
but, whatever it is in life you choose to do...;
just remember to, quite patiently, 'stick' with it...;
and, even, if you never succeed in fully 'mastering' anything;
at least, you will have tried.

If I didn't learn the full English alphabet...;
and, had only learned say, letters: 'A','B','C';
then, I can honestly say, I learned far more than I knew before;
and, that in itself is a good thing.
Rome, they say, was never built all in one single day.

Perhaps, the worse thing to do is just give up before you ever even 'started';
as, then, you are just stifling what happens to be your true potential in life. 

In short, you have believe in you...;
even, when others might not/
or else, are being quite deliberately 'opposing'.
