There are tons of people that are heavily constrained by the environment they find themselve in.
"I'm about to reach my full potential", but in reality, we are always running at current full potential because that is all we can ever do. We are always doing our best, we are always doing all we can in the moment

I wonder if people ever really break free - look at the people who make it out of the hood in sport or music, but never really make it out - they are still carrying their habits of the hood with them - just in case?
Good point. Yet there are those who grow up in the same environment and manage to completely abandon the mindset by sheer determination.
