Doing What Ya Can...Doing What Ya Can't...



So...

One day you decide to go to the gym...or somewhere in life - you decide to do something for some given reason in order to obtain some goal.

Using the gym as an example, do you know how the gym works?  It works like this...

You set these goals - whether they are lifting goals (I want to lift x pounds)...or losing weight goals (I want to lose x pounds)...or overall fitness goals (I want to be able to...).  No matter the goal you set - they all have some end point in mind.  The end point being a place where you are not currently at in some given area.  Or saying it another way...the end point is a place you can't get to at the present moment, but it's where you want to be eventually.

NOW - here's the real deal.  Do you know how you DO get there?

By doing things you can do...IE you do what you can - in order to eventually do what you can't.

You might not be able to lift the goal weight - but you lift weights you can handle in order to get to lift weights you CAN'T handle - yet.  You can't lose all the weight at once - so you lose a little at a time, until your goal is achieved...so on & so on.

What am I saying?  You do what you can - so eventually, you do what you can't.  That's how it all works.

Now broaden that to any area of life...

Finances...Marriage...Personal..Spiritual...Physical...Emotional...Business...Academic...Family...etc...

No matter the area, no matter the goal...we follow the same path - do what you can - so eventually you do what you can't.

Don't allow the things you can't do get in the way of the things you can do.  Those things you can't do are either stumbling blocks or stepping stones.

Instead, identify those things you can do...& do them...until you are able to do what you currently can't.

peace
