What We Are Capable Of

Okay so someone I find very intelligent and inspiring is Jack Matthew, more known as ThatSoJack, and today in his snapchat he had a picture of one of his journal entries and it was basically about how we know what we are capable of but we never fully achieve or try for it. 

I found that entire entry to be so relatable.

Because if you think about it in our mind, head, thoughts…what ever you want to call it, we have an idea of what we can do and what we are able to achieve. However somewhere along the way of us thinking of those things and actually achieving those things we toss those thoughts out and do something else, even though in the back of our minds we still know what we are capable of.

Here is a very simple example that has nothing to what I wanted this to be referred as but it will get the point out of what I am trying to say to those who are probably reading this and are very confused.

Okay, let’s say you’re excellent when it comes to math ( if you are… how ?) . Whenever the teacher teaches something you understand it completely without even having to pay attention. However you know for the upcoming test he has told you to study because it wont make sense unless you have gotten some kind of practice. Now, although you know what you are capable of and you know how great your mark would be if you studied even a little bit for that test… you don't and you end up not getting as high a grade as you could have!

Now that we’re all on the same page of what idea of Jack’s I am trying to piggy back on I would like you to take like five or thirty seconds to think about one event or one subject or one anything in your life where you knew what you were capable of, however you didn’t put your best to it to try to reach that.

Now I want you to think of  how your life could’ve been different if you really did put your all into that. If you really did try for that test, friend ship, scholarship, relationship, job, outfit, interview or even that passion of what ever it is that you have.

Okay good, my goal of this blog is to depress the hell out of you from this post so you learn how important it is to really give it your 100% when you know you can for things, so your life is that much better. Because lets be real in 20 years from now will that party, that fight, that text, that couch that was so comfortable that kept you from doing what ever it was that you didn’t try for, really worth it?

But think of how in 20 years from now how that time you knew you she loved you enough that you could propose, that time you studied your butt off for that program, that time you looked pass that fight you guys had to have an amazing friendship that beats all other, how that impacted your life.

And when that happens twenty years from now, remember how I told you about it!

(quick ps- so this whole idea is so much more broad and out there than the examples I gave I just wanted it to be more relatable however look at the actual journal entry below and be inspired!)

( I hope you can read that)
