The Trap of Trying to Reach Your Full Potential — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Do you feel like your life is supposed to be bigger than it is?
What would it mean if you weren’t exceptional?
And why do so many successful folks still feel like they aren’t enough?
Today Alyson and I explore why some people feel pressured to reach their full potential. We discuss the expectation to be exceptional, how fixating on the future kills our satisfaction, and why having what we truly want may be much simpler than we think.
In this conversation:
- The pressure to reach your full potential
- The checklist life
- The fear of dying with regrets
- “Is this all there is?”
- I’m not doing enough or not doing it right
Plus:
- The fear of slowing down
- What we do to escape discomfort, uncertainty, and vulnerability
- Is love something you have to earn?
- The need to get over ourselves
- The role of awe and wonder
