The highest potential for the human race cannot be realized in our current society. Too much focus on consumerism, media, greed, false politics and arguments about religion have made us forget how to really live and really be happy.
The highest potential for an individual in our society is to practice what you know in your heart is right, without the fear of god or law. Treat people kindly without judging them, be helpful, constantly strive to learn, don't be lazy, love with your all, be true to yourself and you can be true to others. And do this not because your religion tells you to, do it because it is what you recognise as right and because it can make you feel good about yourself.
To me personally this includes accepting people as they are, despite race, sexual orientation, religion, background, or appearance. If we as a society in general can learn to think this way, only then can we move on to bigger and better things, a new way of life that will help us reach toward our highest potential.

In life you will learn many things, and change just as many. Therefore the highest human potential cannot consist of one thing only. I say it is to master everything that you were built to master. The ability to put meaning behind every word you say, to never gossip again, to respect everything, to take spiritual lessons with humility and grace and so on.

The potential to love. To love so much that they can give their lives for other people.

Assuming there is a God or some supernatural beings (events,energy) if Man is able to contact those beings that would be the ultimate achievement
