Are We Reaching Our "Full Potential"?

"Here's a good working definition of excellence: Everybody striving to reach their full potential." - Jim Tressel

In the end only God knows our destiny, what will be fulfilled. In the meantime, when we talk about "full potential," the question is "by whose definition"? I have abilities to be a top-notch insurance executive or basketball coach. Does this mean that choosing other paths is to underachieve my "full potential"? Of course not. I define full potential to be "maximum happiness." For me personally that comes from a mixture of social, volunteer, creative, spiritual and competitive outlets. Sometimes in private, sometimes in a crowd. Steadily changing to keep adventure alive. Your definition of "full potential" is the right one for you; it doesn't belong to anyone else. You find the channel that excites you, and go all-out after it. That's living life to the fullest!
