The main reason why the phrase “talent is not enough” is popular is because we have people who have talent with high potential but they did not fulfill that potential based on the fact that they let themselves get carried away. When people start hyping them and start telling them how good they are, some people feel relaxed and get carried away instead of putting in the work and trying to get better in the process, but some people go backwards instead of getting better in their careers.
The difference between people who fulfill their potential and people who don’t fulfill their potential is consistency. The best in the field give their best every day, they may not perform at the highest level every time but they still give the best almost all the time they use their talent. The average in a field only gives their best once in a while, they put in their best performance once in a while which is different from best in the field. We have people with high potential a great talent. They give the best performances. 
The regret
For people who know that they don’t have the talent but work their way up to achieve a little to nothing will be satisfied with the results that they get in the end but those with regret at the end of the career are people with high potential, people who know that they probably should have done better with their lives or probably should have achieved more in their career but they fail to improve and to work harder just to get better and their talent go to waste.
There is a feeling that comes with knowing that you have tried your best, even even if what you are trying to do was not successful, the feeling of knowing that you try your best will make you feel good about yourself, and won’t regret anything. within yourself you know that you’ve tried, but the worst feeling in life is you knowing that you didn’t give your best and you should’ve become more but you wasted your potential is the worst feeling ever.
Push yourself
Some people are still waiting for their family or friends to push them but in reality, you don’t need anybody to push you to become better. You don’t even need money or anything to motivate you to be better in life. You have to push yourself because the competition is with you alone to compete with yourself and make yourself better and this is the only way you can feel content with yourself and be happy that you try your best. Compete with yourself and set the bar so high that people will question how you’re able to do everything you’re doing. This is the only way to get more out of the potential you have and to leave your life without regret at the end of the day.
Thanks for your time.
