I've had a question living on repeat in my head for over 5 years...
How far am I living from the edge of my potential?

At first, "my potential" felt like a cliff somewhere "over there".
Instead of comfort and safety, I wanted to see what I might be missing.

So, moved cities.
I changed jobs.
I built some new habits.
Left some old ones.
Pushed for the edge.

As I got closer to the cliff, I realized how wrong I was.
It's not a cliff at all. It's a horizon.

… no edge. Just vast, unexplored potential.

The closer I walk toward it, the more comes into view.

For many of us, we want to see the full picture before we move, thinking confidence precedes action.
But the order is wrong.

Our picture expands AFTER we start moving.
