6 months agoThis is a great post and very thought provoking. I often think about this a lot being in my early 40s and still skateboarding. Rather than thinking about reaching my full potential (implies an end point) I try to reframe it to maximizing my full potential. For me, I see it as it being on a spectrum, vacillating throughout the day and being mindful of the focus to working on the self or improving. The thing I love about skateboarding is that it has taught me about having a growth mindset. I don’t know if we are meant to fully reach our potential but similar to what you say, striving to improve in all areas of life as much as possible.
