“It’s not enough that we do our best;
Sometimes we must do what is required.”
~Wintson Churchill
I’m easily distracted, and baubles dance through my space,
I’ll be drawn everywhere if I don’t push my mind forward.
I want to do much, but where am I needed the most?
Maybe the answer is in the question. Read that line again.
“There’s much I want to do,
But where am I needed the most?”
Yet, there is much to do, and I cannot do it all.
If it’s not me, then who?
Can I trust that it will get done?
Or will it pile up for me to muddle through on my own?
Thus, it is a learning curve, and that’s not a grading curve.
Who can I trust to do what I need?
The key is “trust,” as in, “I don’t want to be taken for a ride.”
So you find someone dependable and taskable.
Set parameters, give authority, then step back and let them do.
Sometimes we must realize, that we never will finish our vision.
The tasks we want and the tasks we dread.
But if we empower others, then it will come to pass.
Is it not better to be done, even if different, by others who are capable?
Paul wanted to go to Macedonia and Jesus to Samaria.
When Paul arrived, this opened the European continent.
Jesus’s arrival opened his disciple’s eyes to a greater harvest.
Both accomplished their calling by opening their vision to a bigger arena.
I’m learning, again, to set aside my wishes, desires, and dreams.
It’s not only about me and my distractions,
But, setting the pace to move on, I must be willing to let loose the reins.
Others will accomplish, Lord willing, and I must be the enabler.
Be satisfied. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
But always look to help others the way some helped you.
Thank you for reading.
Please share with others.
It helps me get my book written!
