"The gap between ambition and capability is an invitation to grow, not a limitation." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Someone asked me how you can keep up when things are changing so fast; how you can grow when there is so much to master; how you can succeed when the challenges can seem so big.

You do it by refusing to be cowed by the scope of what's ahead of you!

Right now, everyone is faced with the same issue - we have a lot of ambition, but given that there is so much new 'stuff'to master, our capabilities are often lacking. That can seem like a setback, a barrier, a wall that we can't break through - because we focus on our limits, not our capabilities.

Shifting our focus from limitations to opportunity is the key to breaking through.

I went back and talked ot myself - that is, I fed this idea to Google Gemini to see how we can focus on growth, not limits. It came back to me with this: Your 25-Point Plan to Bridge the Ambition-Capability Gap. There's a great little inspirational PDF that might be useful - it's in the post.

Step 1? Make speed your primary strategy - stop waiting, start doing!

Then reject perfectionism - our chase for doing something without a mistake is often the very thing that holds us back.

Physical changes take time, often months before you see noticeable differences.

If looking a certain way is your only reason for working out, you’ll likely quit during those first crucial weeks when the scale isn’t budging and the mirror looks the same.

"Hi. How are you doing?" says yet another piece of SMS #spam.

It's out of control. I think I get >1/day. Is it #invasiveai ?

I'd be happy to be rid of SMS altogether, but too much of the world expects me to use it. You gotta pick your battles, and I'm not inclined to pick this one.

#grateful for @signalapp . As JWZ points out, it's not perfect either, but I see ProPublica articles closing with "we hold power to account; got a tip? contact us on signal" with a nice #capability #url .

Many #jobs are #routine, repetitive and (to an #AI) predictable; these jobs may be #automated in the next couple of decades, and many of the new jobs may not be "accessible to people with average #capability", even with #retraining https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_unemployment#Artificial_intelligence

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Do not suppose that if you personally find that something is hard to achieve, it is therefore beyond human capacity; rather, if something is possible and appropriate for human beings, assume that it must also be within your own reach.
 
[Μή, εἴ τι αὐτῷ σοὶ δυσκαταπόνητον, τοῦτο ἀνθρώπῳ ἀδύνατον ὑπολαμβάνειν, ἀλλ̓ εἴ τι ἀνθρώπῳ δυνατὸν καὶ οἰκεῖον, τοῦτο καὶ σεαυτῷ ἐφικτὸν νόμιζε.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 6, ch. 19 (6.19) (AD 161-180) [tr. Hard (2011 ed.)]
