If not, why not?

I mean, are you living up to your potential in terms of where you should be at this stage of your life? (i.e. if you are 20 and in college and doing as well as you think you can, then you're living up to your potential for someone your age.)

    I believe that I am. I got a great job working for my state, making good money. I'm being a productive citizen and I have noticed that my continued success has reflected in all aspects of my life.

    The biggest issue is not making mistakes its learning from them and taking advantage of the next opportunity.I dropped out of college back in 04 and went back in '10 and have been doing good.Some times you are not ready when life happens even in high school.

    I lived almost up to my potential but far exceeded any of my dreams but my dreams keep getting bigger.
    I can just go after them more effectively.

    Yes I'm not a ? thristy for I'm not willing to get famous any old kind of way when I know I got haters who want me to get killed. I have not reach my destiny but I'm not falling. I'm wise I can see traps. I'm not greedy for attention.

    nope. i dropped out of school as a youngin which cost me a couple of years.

    i could be in some top tier business school already but now it's still gonna take me 2-3 years.

    i'm still on a higher plane than 99.9% of the people i grew up with and what people would have expected from 10 years ago.

    Just turned 30. Money is not an issue for me at this point. My son is growing and healthy. I really like my job. I'd say I could be making more progress in Hollywood towards the career I want to have. But I ain't prepared to move there yet so I dunno.

    no, im doing alright i guess, but if i knew what i know now back in highschool, i couldve started my company and went to college to focus on business to improve myself not really for a degree, instead of wasting time and school loans on other bs.

    I think because people keep comparing me to Hollywood stars they can't see my accomplishments

    If u have a hard time believing I'm really from the slums that shows u how good im doing. If u think I live off my parents money than that's proof I'm doing excellent. If u think I'm living off a famous rapper income that's proof I'm a baller. If I'm not asking u for money and u see I'm healthy and eating that's proof I'm smart. Of course I can be richer but I'm not willing to die for it. Why die out in Hollywood? More people love me in the streets.
