Potential is most often measured by your success your wealth your bank balance. To realize this one would think greed sleep greed and live a greedy lifestyle. Then you will realize your potential. Is the answer you wanted? However perhaps not, you could work as little as possible have time to properly raise your children, buy a small house live frugally and practice the religion of your choice realizing that money isn’t important, but wait a minute you would need democracy to guarantee your inalienable rights and there aren’t any. Please disregard the later part of this answer.

... for this great question being discussed at the vision summit! I think this one of the most important question in these times. some of my answers are: 1) PERMISSION and AUTHORIZATION : countries/governances are not really interested in supporting people to realize their own potential. because this means, they have to support for example individual responsibilit or autonomy. so a commitment is needed first I think. 2) the CULTURE of: "you have a great and unique potential and it*s worth it to be developed" and "your potential do not have to fit to any existing paradigm" has to be integrated. 3) the EDUCATIONAL system and the SOCIAL system (ngo and governement) should ask themselves permant: "does our action/this plan/this help really supports the development of this individual?" all activities, the action should be based on this question. 4) there are many human examples who became a "life entrepreneurs" against many resistances. they are importing because they are EXAMPLES. they could take an acitve part and show others what they learned and what they gained.
