living up to my full potential

In less than 19 days I will be turning 29. Nine years ago I had a conversation with Doug, the hockey instructor and women's hockey coach at UAA. Sara had previously played with the team and he was trying to talk me into coming out, because they needed some more girls. I told him I didn't really have a lot of time with work and classes. I remember exactly what he told me word for word. He said "seriously, you have the rest of your life to work. You are 20 years old. Right now is when you should see what your body can do physically. Push yourself to find your full potential on the ice. This is when you can be in the best physical shape of your life. You really need to think about that" I did think about it. I didn't play with the team. But, I was in really good shape back then. I played hockey for fun, snowboarded, and jogged a lot. After having 2 kids, I'm not in the shape I used to be in. Lately I've really been wanting to get back into good physical shape. Really working out hard. I have plans on working into that. I was thinking about also applying that to everything about my life. Am I doing all that I can or should be doing? Something to think about.

Change of subject, usually I have a cd or 2 that I listen to for the week. Cds of the week are Weezer and Mat Kearney.
