What about "full potential" in terms of things that are external to us?
Friends, family, neighbourhood, community, nation, enemies & rivals, humanity?
"Mind, Body, Spirit" in action, perhaps.
How does one define "full potential" when it comes to affecting or interacting with those around us?

@fmf saidEveryone should be free to either embrace or eschew their full potential. Or, really, any partial realization they deem appropriate. You wanna be CEO of Microsoft? Knock yourself out. You wanna be a slacker on a beach somewhere? Knock yourself out. "To thine own self be true." -- Polonius, Hamlet, Act I, Scene 3
How does one define living to one's full potential?
Is it purely up to each individual to do so?
Deciding another's 'full potential' seems an unwarranted intrusion into that individual's 'personal thought-space'.

@suzianne saidDoes walking the Christian walk, so to speak, have a bearing upon one's "full potential" - and one's obligations to 'live to it' - in terms of having an impact or impacts on family, friends, community, nation, and humanity?

@fmf saidThe full potential of a good bottle of wine is achieved by a good balance of maturity and appropriate nurturing (in regards to the way to it handled and stored). This is further enhanced by how it is enjoyed and what accompanies it. (A good wedge of cheese for example).

Human potential is no different from that of a good Malbec. We become the best we can be if we mature well and are looked after during this process by a loving family. With good direction, we then deploy this potential which is further enhanced through collaboration with the potential of others.
(Yep, I'm enjoying a glass of Malbec right now).

@ghost-of-a-duke saidIf you like Malbec, you will like an Australian red called 19 Crimes, which goes well with a fat juicy steak. Google it.

@rajk999 saidYes, tried that one! 😀

That said, very rarely had a Malbec or Rioja I didn't like.
(Please note, am a modest drinker. Generally buy a bottle every second weekend whereby my wife and I have a glass each on Saturday and the same on a Sunday, invariably while playing scrabble).

@fmf saidYes, it is up to each individual to live up to his or her full potential by thinking, saying and doing what is first, morally right, and secondly, practical in terms of one's known limitations and capacities relative to his skills, talents and abilities.
