 Saying a person with ADHD, depression, OCD, or anxiety (etc) is not performing to their real potential is like saying an athlete with an injury is not performing to their real potential. There is a huge difference between potential and ability. An athlete with a torn muscle might have the potential to run down the field; he just doesn’t have the ability at the moment. The person with hidden challenges may not be working up to their potential, but they are probably working very hard to perform to the best of their ability. Have you ever tried to run with a torn muscle? There are some ‘injuries’ that are not easily seen. It’s important to never make light of somebody’s effort by insinuating that they’re not doing their very best.

Having the ability versus just the potential is extremely different. If you have the talent, then you might be a great person, but if that is all that you have, then it would be a shame. In my opinion, we all have a potential to be great, but actually doing something to harness it is different. Those who have the skill right now, they are the ones who have worked hard to make things happen in their life. This is what I believe. Leave a Reply. |

Just like you, I wear many hats. I'm a mom, a teacher, a friend, a daughter, a sister, and a writer. I choose to laugh (and talk... and write) about my problems because crying takes too much time. CategoriesArchives
