Imagine taking a physical step too long for your leg. One thing is certain and that is, you will fall. Motivational speakers tell us that there is nothing we cannot do if we put our mind to it. Or as they like to put it, “if you can conceive it in your mind,and believe it in your heart, you can achieve it in your life”. But that is an exageration of truth. You and I know that whereas the mind is limitless in what it can conceive, our human ability is limited in what it can achieve. Truth be told, we can do many things but we cannot do everything. And wisdom is knowing the difference between what is feasible for us to do and what is foolish of us to do. And it all comes down to knowing yourself. This is not in any way to discourage you. On the contrary it’s to say that if a gap is too wide for you to step over, you should leap over it. And if you can’t leap over, you should put a plank or build a bridge over it. And if that also proves impossible or unhelpful you should develop a machine, like an aircraft to get across it. Be energized! #TagAFriendToReadThis! #AfricanProverb
