Human potential, realized.

"Most of us have those abilities. It's just that we don't use them." --Daniel E. Lieberman, Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology, on the Tarahumara ability to run amazingly long distances

Makes me wonder what potential each of us feels beneath the surface of our self-expression, just itching to come out. Is unmet human potential part of what makes us feel uncomfortable...that sense of longing for "something more" in our lives, and a knowledge that we have what it takes? What makes a person decide that once-held potential is no longer within reach? Check out the link & if you feel like it, post your thoughts...
