To make your opportunities real, your capabilities need to match your opportunities.
Until your capabilities match your opportunities, you won’t reach your goals. You will have goals, dreams and desires, but you will be frustrated. Everything you need to do is a constant layering of capabilities. As you build up capabilities, you end up reaching your goals.
Think of your pursuit of knowledge as picking up capabilities. What you want in your life is results. It’s building capabilities that deliver results for you.
When you face roadblocks, remember what my friend, Dan Sullivan, Founder of Strategic Coach®, says: “Irritated oysters make pearls.”
For whatever irritates you in life, there is some capability that gives you the power to transform it. Be willing to destroy anything in your life that is not excellent.
Most people are unwilling to do that.
They will deal with relationships they hate, jobs they dislike, things they are unwilling to let go of, and so on. Wherever your life is working, you have habits and rituals that are making it work. Wherever your life is not working, you have habits and rituals that are making it not work.
One of the capabilities in life to develop is that of being YOUR own best friend. You treat your best friend well and you take care of them. You don’t force them to do stuff they dislike over and over again. Become your own best friend, no matter what has happened in the past.
