Does the non-dominant hand show potential or just what you were born with?

I've been comparing my two palms and the lines are so different it's almost funny. Do you read the non-dominant hand as who you could have been, or is it more about inherited traits?

I’ve always read it as the blueprint you came in with, while the dominant hand shows what you’re actually doing with it — so potential feels like a stretch, more like raw material.

I’ve always heard it as the non-dominant hand is the blueprint you came in with, and the dominant hand shows what you’ve actually built with it.

I’ve always read it as the raw material you came in with, but the dominant hand shows what you’ve actually done with it — so potential feels like a stretch unless you’re actively working toward it.

I’ve always read it as the hand you came in with, but the dominant hand shows what you’re actually doing with it — so potential feels like it lives somewhere in the gap between the two.

I’ve always read it as the raw material you came in with, while the dominant hand shows what you’ve actually done with it — so potential feels like the right word, but only in hindsight.
