"Our being is subject to all the chances of life. There are so many things we are capable of, that we could be or do. The potentialities are so great that we never, any of us, are more than one-fourth fulfilled"

This quote by Katherine Anne Porter speaks with the idea that life has plenty of possibilities and capacity. We are all capable of so much, yet we typically just fulfill a portion of our potential. Our lives go through the unforeseeable nature of life, and the opportunities that come our way. We may never understand what we might have been or done, had we taken a different course. This quote encourages us to make the most of our lives and to strive to reach our complete capacity. It reminds us that life has lots of possibilities which we need to take advantage of them. We ought to never ever opt for less than we can, and make every effort to reach our max capacity.
