What you can and cannot do
There are some things that you can control, and there are
other things that you cannot. There are things that you can
change, and there are other things that you must simply
learn to live with.<P>
By accepting what you cannot do, you free up much time and
energy that can be devoted to what you can do. By being at
peace with the things you cannot change, you give yourself
more power and effectiveness over the areas where you can
indeed make a difference.<P>
You could waste your time and energy complaining that the
ocean is too deep and wide. Or you could figure out how to
sail across it.<P>
You could fall back on the excuse that the mountains are too
high to get past. Or you could climb your way over and
through them.<P>
It's great to be well aware of what you can do. And it's
even better to also acknowledge and accept what you cannot
do.<P>
For that gives you the ability to put all your energy and
resources into efforts that will truly make a positive
difference. Accept what you cannot do, and you'll find great
success in doing what you can.<P>
