Don't care, reaching for retirement... 2 years, 4 on the outside.

I don’t think anyone reaches their full potential. If you reach full potential career wise, it will likely take away from you reaching your full potential as a husband and father.

Just try to be a good dude. That’s good enough imo.

I saw those around me that were very successful but I didn't want to put that kind of all out effort it required. I like to stop and smell the roses

If any has gotten there, you probably have some fairly mediocre goals

Definitely haven’t reached full potential but there comes a time to pack it in and enjoy what’s left of your life span.

I had to give a financial statement at a local yokal small town bank yesterday and I felt pretty good about myself. That said, I wish I’d tried some different things as a young man when the idea of what I’d like to try was fresh on my mind.

My full potential, or least my idea of what that looks like has changed dramatically with age. I no longer consider my full potential to be found in the accumulation of temporary things.

Some people blow way past their “full potential”. Look at Biden. On his best day he didn’t possess the potential to be POTUS.

Tbh, yes, i think i have. At least career-wise. I think i’m doing the work i was meant to do. Now as far as money, marriage, etc. All i can say is “mistakes were made.”

No. If you are doing it right, there is always more potential.

Potential for what?

I’m going for a long obedience in the same direction for eternity.

No. I reached peak physical several years ago and let that fall off but at that time I still made psychological mistakes. I wouldn't make those now but I have to get back into shape to finally have both at the same time.
