“Once you realize that you can do something, it would be difficult to live with yourself if you didn’t do it.â€
— James Baldwin
Simplified Meaning:
When you figure out that you have the ability to accomplish something, it's hard to be happy if you don't follow through and actually do it. Imagine a person discovering that they have a talent for painting. If they then chose not to paint, knowing they had that talent, they might feel like they're wasting their potential. This feeling can lead to regret and unhappiness. Rather than ignoring what they're good at, it's better for them to use their talent and create beautiful art. In general, when you recognize that you have a gift or a special skill, you should use it. It can lead to personal satisfaction and contribute to the world in a positive way.
