I can do all the administrative tasks of my business. That’s my ability.
But I outsource them to an accountant so that I can focus on my core business. That’s my choice.
I can play a keyboard and a guitar. I learned it myself. I wanted do to more of it because I could. But at some point, I realized that I enjoy playing casually when I want to unwind. But I never aimed to be a music performer. So I can play music but I only play in leisure. Ability versus choice.
Similarly, I can do a lot of other things. But that doesn’t mean I should do them all. Because that would mean spreading myself too thin. That would be attenuation of my energy, when what I really need is focus.
To do more, you have to work on less (priorities).
So here’s my big lesson: Just because you can do something does not necessarily mean you should do it.
Exercise your choices wisely, for choices make up our lives.
