Summary
Many of us see the potential in the patterns of reality when it comes to a person. We create this idealized version of them in our minds, hoping that maybe if we stay a little longer, give a little more, or explain with more detail, that maybe they will change. Yet, the truth is, you cannot force change on someone who is unwilling to grow. In this episode, Kristen and Kelli discuss why it’s important to focus on the reality over the potential of a person, as their potential isn’t a promise. Whether it's learning how to let go, focusing on the present, or accepting reality, this episode gives you the relief in stopping yourself from romanticizing potential.
