How to Expand Your Potential

Hello, this is Maru.

Partly due to my illness,
I used to only be able to sit for half a day.

I had no stamina or muscle strength,
so I had to save up my energy
in order to move.

Since that kind of life continued for years,
I thought that was the only way I could function.

I realized that was a mistake
after I started working at my current job.

I started working full-time for the first time in 15 years,
and I was so, so scared. lol

I had absolutely no confidence that my stamina would last.

How could I conserve my energy?

That was all I could think about.

However, once I actually started working,
I couldn't afford to think like that anymore.

I thought,
“I’m done for…”“Won’t I collapse someday?…”

but as three months, then six months passed,
my body had changed to adapt.

What’s more, I’m healthier than I was before!

Things moved in the opposite direction of what I had expected.

【If you use it, it decreases】

There are things you hold dear,
thinking that way, aren't there?

When you come up with a good idea,
if you hold onto it too tightly and leave it as is,
you end up forgetting the idea you had,
and no new ideas come to mind.

But when you put your ideas into action,
mysteriously, the next idea comes to you.

I used to feel that if I mustered up my courage,
it would disappear.

However, when I took the plunge and did it,
a little bit of courage was born,
making me think, “Maybe I’ll try it again.”

What wells up from within us
does not decrease when used,
but ratherdecreases when not used.

Ideas, courage, physical strength, and actions
will decrease if you do not use them.

It might be scary at first, but
please take the plunge and use them.

Even if it's just a little, if you start using them,
a larger flow will eventually form,
and it will expand your potential.

Thank you
for reading until the end.
