We have an internal check and balance system. By design we are so filled with possibility, opportunity, with greatness that when we live small, within the bottom of our capability, we innately know we should be living greater than that, and it creates a disconnect inside that leads us to feeling empty, unhappy, maybe even depressed. ↗

When it was really bad, I'd put my head down on my book and contemplate alternate options for my future. "whoa," I heard a voice say.
