Doing What You Can't
Often, in life, we look at all the things we "can't do". Our perception - which is our reality - then becomes a limiting factor in the area of inability. So...how do we get past that? How do we do what we can't?
It's simple - by doing what we can...
For example - when we go to the gym - we don't go in focused on all that we can't do...No, we set goals of accomplishing what we can't currently do & we reach them by doing what we can. If I can't lift a certain amount of weight - then the way I become able to is by lifting weights that I can...Eventually I am able to do what I once wasn't able to do. If I want to run a distance that I can't currently...I run the distance I can & then eventually I am able to do what I once couldn’t...Easy enough...
In life, we must apply the same rules...Rather than focusing on what we can't do - set an obtainable goal & then do what you can so that eventually you will be able to do what you currently can't...
It's the idea - how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time...
Spiritually - the same thing...Once you see where you would like to get to - set it as the goal then do what you can...So that one day - you will find that you have done what you once couldn't...

Reminds me of a couple of friends of mine who I played racquetball with. When we first started playing, they could never beat me. As we continued to play week after week and they ganged up on me they finally beat me. wait a minute......... Pastor, did you ever beat me??
Thanks for the memories, your friend in Guam
