You may be frustrated, disappointed, depressed or demoralized by the feeling you continually fail to meet your potential.

Welcome to the human race.

What if the tension between the person you know you can be and the person you think you are – what if that tension is a good thing?

Like a rubber band, that tension can pull us forward. Once we reach what we perceive as our potential, we realize we can be even greater. In this system, we will never reach our potential… and that’s a good thing. It means our journey continues.

And it reminds us it is the journey, not the destination, that is the point.
