“The real Tragedy is the tragedy of the man who never in his life braces himself for his one supreme effort-he never stretches to his full capacity, never stands up to his full stature.” - Arnold Bennett

@SoulKey that takes lifetimes, I imagine only very very few could reach self mastery in one lifetime

@SoulKey I fear I am that man.

SoulKey

@JovialPlutonian @Iwillwait I wonder why

Iwillwait · M

@SoulKey answer is quite simple, I lack confidence.

JovialPlutonian · 36-40, M

@SoulKey why what?

Iwillwait · M

@JovialPlutonian my initial comment was to yours of not reaching to full capacity or potential, I fear I m that person.

SoulKey

@Iwillwait Is it though? Then you'd know why you lack confidence.

Iwillwait · M

@SoulKey its self seating really. There's this glimmour of hope that I could be great, and of course maladaptive daydreaming if such, but the ends never justify the means because I am frozen in fear. Like stage fright.

SoulKey

@Iwillwait That still doesn't answer the question.

Iwillwait · M

@SoulKey self defeating.
