I've always questioned myself why do I have so many interests and excel on it, but easily gets bored to what I currently do when I get so used to it? This educational and psychological term that I learned from Emilie Wapnick of Puttylike.com is an eye-opener.
There was a moment of rage after learning about this term. Furious because I spent almost my entire life dealing with the people around me, telling me to just focus, be in a box, have a specialization; who judged me for doing so many things in life that makes me happy -- acting, dancing, singing, photography, makeup artistry, food styling, cooking, baking, songwriting, marketing, designing, blogging, and the list goes on (see for yourself here in my blog). They had a huge problem with it. I don't. It's really hard for them to understand what's going on with the wiring in my psyche. So this term is a breath of fresh air! Sigh. Finally!
By the way, I find it way more cooler that it is also known as Renaissance man. Woot! I love learning so many things, apply them, and interchangeably connect them!
Funny, before I write this post, I checked on my Facebook, then chatted with a friend, watched more videos about multipotentialite, and read some articles/essays as well. It really is spot on. I can't finish one task especially when I get too excited! Ugh.
This is so me. It's a gift, and I'm so proud of it. The society needs to embrace it as well and not call us weirdos or geeks in an instant (well, I don't mind them calling me that. I find it hot and cool. Haha!).

So, are you a multipotentialite? If so, let's talk! I'd love to meet as well and create a community for us here in the Philippines.
