Great article! As usual I find myself looking for an answer to all those ideas and questions in my head. And it finds me while reading, listening and learning. This article was just in line with what I have been wondering concerning my zone of genius and passion, while leaving it in an open loop. The following is what hit me mostly, thank you:
“So, this is the framework.
The trick perhaps. Maybe it's a hack.
You're going to look at every single thing you do.
And think very very deeply ...
About what it is that you engage in the learning loop, repeatedly, the most.
What do you naturally do where you take in some new idea, put it into action, reflect on the outcome, and then repeat the process.
What do you naturally do where you learn and grow without prompting, without bribing, without external forces?
What is the thing you keep returning to no matter what?
What is the function that thing (or things) keeps serving?”
Full Potential emerges from exploring beyond the edges of your Known Potential (aka Unknown Potential) thereby becoming your new Known Potential *which reveals new Unknown Potential and additional latent Full Potential. 🤯
What a beautiful read! More than anything, I feel SO identified. Unknowingly, I've loved writing all my life. Almost every. single. day., I see ways in which I can contribute to the world through writing. (Books, Stories, Social Media, Sales, Insights, Values, Positioning, you name it).
There is only one thing to do: to continue improving the skill, engaging the field, to maximize the impact.

yea im gonna have to keep revisiting this myself, I think there's more to unravel
This is such a powerful concept. I started practicing something similar myself a while back. The practice comes and goes.
The hard part is being honest with yourself about what your behavior is trying to tell you about yourself, if only you’d actually pay attention.
6wu: building a thing? Write from receptivity.
