Growing set of tools

Capability, and putting that capability to use, gives you ownership. It gives you ownership over your own life and over your own corner of the universe.

Living well is a matter of successfully dealing with reality. That means having a positive impact on your environment, on your circumstances, and on the people around you.

Seek out new challenges and you compel yourself to develop new capabilities. Apply those capabilities and they become more robust, informed, and effective.

Imagine what capabilities could be helpful in the future, in the event of some particular set of likely circumstances. Work to develop those capabilities so you’ll be well practiced in them when the need arises.

Give yourself a growing set of tools for transforming various situations into positive, fulfilling outcomes. Then eagerly put those tools, those capabilities, to use.

Already you are highly capable, and able to become even more so. The more you invest in your capabilities, the more life’s various twists and turns will turn out in your favor.

— Ralph Marston
