Getting to the Root of What is Holding Back Your Potential

Whenever I eat a salad, it feels like I’m eating crunchy water. It is healthier than rice or potatoes, but it doesn’t have anything that would supercharge and nourish my body.

But maybe we don’t need those capable bodies anymore. We live well-off in societies and cities. We don’t have to be sprinters to escape a tiger. Since everything is convenient, there is no need for our bodies to work hard. They can work at half their potential.

People limit their potential like a dog holding his own leash. How do we learn to let go? What is holding us back? Ourselves, but what in ourselves. Fear of the unknown? The mind? Ego? But all things have been here before. Maybe it is society we have to let go of and return to the roots we come from.

How far we’ve come from being human. Touching leaves and hugging trees. A kiss from Nature. Now, she must be looking at us like we are the most peculiar beings. We construct our destruction, not just for humanity, but also for life.
