Greetings.. No, E, that's not accurate, it is observably inaccurate.. it suits your needs, but like the rest of your post, it is a product of your imagination.. Why do you make absurd statements like, "One is always living up to one's potential", then try to convince people the statements are valid? is Life's uncomplicated simplicity too boring for you? Anyone can always do better, if that were not accurate, there would unconditional peace and no unpreventable suffering, but.. such is not the case.. Be well.. I agree with E on this one. There seems to be an idea of how a person living to their potential looks/acts to you. Sometimes living to my potential just means accepting I lost a game and moving on. Sometimes it means saving a kid from a speeding car. It doesn't fit into any particular box.
"Anyone can always do better." False. If I'm 80 years old and I can only lift 20 lbs. over my head, that more than likely isn't going to change for the better.there's that intelligent insight you claim to not have...

This sounds like a control tactic, and it works, it can work quite well... until Life throws you a curve ball, and you are reminded yet again that control is just an illusion. Yes, we seek control not knowing that we are that which is 'total' control...hehehe TMT ;-)

You are limiting your understanding of potential.. and, like some others here, you are arguing for those limitations rather than realizing your potential.. rationalizing away the 'effort' is easier than making the effort, until you actually 'do it'.. Be well..
