My limitations are real
I sometimes pray I
should not fancy myself beyond my human abilities, that I should know my
limitations and my weaknesses, be able to accept my faults and mistakes, taking
from the experiences, lessons to do better where I can.
In anything, I want a
grip, a firm grip on reality, I do not like to boast or vaunt, I would rather I
have done the preparatory work to project my abilities, I am definitely not cut
out for the ‘Fake it till you make it’ premise, it is a dangerous proposition
and where lives and livelihoods depend on it, the last thing you want to do is
to take anyone on a ride.
I am not invincible, immortal,
unassailable, unchallengeable, immutable, or possessive of any divine attribute
as omniscience or omnipotent, I am human, flesh and blood, just trying to be a better
man, to me, to my love, my family, my community, and my world.
I understand me
Whilst, I can be
ambitious, it is not all-consuming to the exclusion of everything else, I like
to chart a course towards a goal and diligently apply myself to that purpose, in
life, in my career, or in a venture of any kind.
I can have a lot of
initial enthusiasm which might wane over time, what I sometimes need to get to,
is that point where I can sustain whatever I am doing and do that with a
modicum of consistency. My blog is a case in point as are aspects of my career
development and progression.
I know myself; I
cannot delude myself and I have the courage of my own convictions. Most
importantly, I understand me, myself, and I, which determines how I set achievable
goals rather than impossible ones.
