    This was an eye opener for me. I like having a lot of interests, it keeps life interesting, but my problem is that these interests shift pretty quickly, so in the end I can't manage to get really good at something and I feel like a failure because of comparison syndrome. Damn it!

    Great idea with the journaling exercise! One thing is to be curious about different disciplines the other is to be an expert at them! To be an expert you need years of study and experience! For me, the fact that one needs to work in just one field kills the playful curiosity of knowing more about that field because now it becomes an obligation and not a freely want to know more just by the sake of knowing more ( intrinsique motivation)

    I have been taking therapy for a while and persistently hold unrelenting standards of work from myself as well as from others. Your video made me realise the reason behind it. I have the obsession to have every piece of work going through me be compared to the best ones. It comes from a desire to excel at everything that I can be. I'm not sure how to solve it, but just knowing that where it came from gave me a sense of relief. As they say, once you have clarity, the problem dissolves itself! I can't thank you enough for making this video.

    Oh this is what it is, I couldn’t find what I was, definitely not ADHD, question is, how is this an advantage if I seek to be the top performer in everything I do,yet after a short while (months) I end up moving on, I went from trading, to biology, to quantum physics, philosophy, rapping, dancing, soccer, psychology, construction, etc and I know the basics and I did learn in all these but ended up moving on. Can’t wait to know more, not in a hurry thankfully, and definitely not an expert

    I fully agree with your video! I thought about this myself (I am also a multipotentialite). I know from myself that I have a lot of talent and potential (as a kid, I wrote stories, poems, drew, played the violin, built stuff with legos,...) but it got destroyed, sabotaged because of where I grew up. My parents are from Iran and they immigrated to Belgium in a small town.
    Now, in Belgium people are not so open minded, very closed, they embrace mediocrity (meaning anyone that tries to stand out or has a different way of thinking, gets ostracised and punished). That mentality in combination with the fact they are also extremely racist and I got discriminated a lot as a kid and adult, it completely broke me and created chronic stress and depression which just completely ruined the natural flow of expressing myself and reaching self realisation.
    Now I am 35, I still have that creativity and energy to learn but I constantly get anxiety because my mind learned from passed experience that creativity and being myself is not a good thing for my survival and I still struggle with it. I mean, imagine Steve jobs or Bill gates grew in Belgium, do you really think they would create Apple and Microsoft and take on the world? The environment is a huge factor and a lot of people don't realise that. So yeah, If I would have grown up in LA, maybe I would have been a totally different person and may have succeeded.
    It is not fair but what can we do about it?

    For me, “luck” reveals one’s belief that the world is full of “accidents”. Once I worked on my personal world view & spiritulity … I realized neither luck or accidents exist … because I moved into a place with myself of seeing how my life was in sync with all of creation … and whetther I found myself in a place I didn’t like or was wow soul purpose … BOTH were showing me what my soul wanted to learn next. But each to their own beliefs!

    I am into Music production (experimental and genre flexible) and playing a few instruments, making every kind of brutal and clean vocals. Writing story, poem, lyrics and lore creation, Traiditional Art, Digital illustration, graphic design (The visual Art is my main field I am more like advanced on concept design and paintings ) I will soon start to learn using 3D softwares more productively and better coding along the way. I love creating my own stuff all the time. I have an ability to observe and interpret, learn quickly. Among all those skills I found my passion as creating concept artworks for the games the main focus is there. But being able to create music giving concerts around my city is also a great activity to have. Or recording and mixing my own music in my home studio. Anyway whatever you do find your main passion and take it to the center and go more focused on that while developing in others more slowly and gently to guarantee you can monetize them either if your first plan doesn't work or just for the sake of learning.
    By the way you can listen our melodic death metal band Grumpic Disease's debut album The Ancient Cure on spotify. I'm doing the vocals and I guarantee it is a tasty home recorded album. 😂

    How about the possibility to stick with the frustration of not knowing the environment around you? The new university, field of study that you're starting and your old good passion (of music, for example). I always had in the back of my mind the idea that i could not bear that weight of excel in those or more areas. And the result of it was that i gave up on that specific thing.
    Now i miss some parts, and I think the problem is that have not put myself in the right environment and I didn't choose the right incentives for my passions/hobbies/works to grow and not feel judged (by myself or others).
    That said, i miss some part of playing piano, i miss some parts of science I did at my secondary school.
    I found out to like drawing and painting and I'm studying that. But I realized this could be surely a thing that i can rely on in the future, and I can be passionate and study hard other things too. Not in order to be someome but just because It's fun, challenging, motivating.
    I hope to make the best choices for me and I hope others can rely with that too.
    Greetings, and sorry for my rusty english :)

    Well, I have more than 40 characters and with all the roles that I have played it is sure that most people with their multi-passionate personality will remain very confuse for their professional life if they will not try to organize their skills vs passions vs talents vs hobbies etc and doing it alone will bring them so much stress specially when they would like to show themselves in public on videos through UA-cam for different causes or multiple missions.

    I'm a multipotential, but I see it as pieces I've learned on the way that are essential for where I'm going in the future, small pieces to the big puzzle of what I'm creating in the future. Luck, according to one saying, is where preparation meets opportunity. And if you read things about law of attraction, frequency, and other things like that, then maybe you can create a space where it's isn't just luck, in the common understanding, but you actually create it. Consider the possibility. A suggestion for other multipotentials that I found out - get a coach with the sole purpose of continually reining you in so you don't keep expanding as much, but can focus on success in one area , at least for a little while. With so many interests, you become diluted if you can't focus. Focus is essential for multipotentials.

    Ciao Enrico, you are the first MALE Multipotentialite I found here haha.
    Da Vinci was a Multipotentialite, and also hundreds of the famous/successful artists around.
    My biggest struggle is the marketing, and what to share where, to I can make a decent living doing what I love.
    I tried for 2 years to "focus" or nich down..but seems like didnt work for me. I will try now NICHE OUT and simplify as much as I can my marketing content :)
    Lets see.
    Also there is a hidden power behind multipotentialites, I think we are the translation of the universe/god/life and we have a higher role here specially in these days of chaos around. What do you think about this?
    Maybe you already know this :)

    I think multipotentials need to determine which of their interests they are satisfied with getting to just the diminishing returns level and which they want to pursue to complete excellence. Lately I've become fascinated with Dashan and feel like I should concentrate in a similar way to him and leave my other interests at diminishing returns levels.

I argue much more than focusing on one thing. Of course there is no right or wrong, but I do believe for some people like me this is simply the way they're wired

      No it's not. Superficially it might seem similar because multipotentialites can be pretty scatter brained and disorganised too, but that's not what defines us. At our core, multipotentialites are fast learners who are naturally moved by the desire to learn as many skills as possible, and we often excel with ease at the skills we pick up.
