Rebellion against your handicaps gets you nowhere.
Self-pity gets you nowhere.
One must have the adventurous daring to accept
oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most
interesting game in the world—making the most of one’s best.
~ Harry Emerson Fosdick
It's so easy to let our handicaps, our flaws even our quirks prevent us from doing our best and exploring the limitless potential we all have. I have always worried, still do, about the things I can't do, my physical limitations ( oh boy have I cried and fretted over them ugh!) as well as the talents I don't have. It's such a waste to fret over that which we can't do when there is so much we can do. I know for everyone of my limitations and weaknesses, I have 2, 3, 10 strengths. That's what I need to always focus on - exploring and nurturing the talents, the potential I do have. When I dedicate myself to the things I can do, my flaws become much smaller, some even insignificant. And I shine!

It's going to be a beautiful day! The humidity is virtually gone - wooo hooo! The sun is peeking out from behind some pretty clouds. There's no time like now to aspire to greatness!
I just need some coffee first! lolol
Have a brilliant, happy day!

Thank you Amy, I needed that this morning. Just while I was driving to work I was lamenting about my constant back pain, and how I would love to take on some crafting projects, instead of laying on the heating pad all of the time. It's almost like I was meant to read your post.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day!
Great post, Amy! I agree, it's always best to focus on what you can do, not what you can't do.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful day!
Thanks for such an uplifting post! We're always being urged to regard each challenge as an opportunity but nobody bothers to mention the effort involved in achieving it!
