I don't know how

I have watched people my entire life who limit themselves because they don't know how to do a thing.

Someone says that they are not good with people.
Someone has employees but doesn't know anything about managing them.
Someone is running a business but does not know how to balance the checkbook.
Someone isn't comfortable in a crowd.

Over the years, I recognized that there were many things that I was not good at.  But I also knew that in order to be successful, a person either needs to bring people along side that are good at those things, or learn the skills themselves.

Not good with people?  Need to learn.
Not good at HR?  Need to learn.
Don't balance the checkbook?  Good luck.
Not comfortable in a crowd?  Friends will be few and far between.

The world is filled with people who find mediocrity because they settle for what their natural abilities bring them.  And then there are also those in the world who find great success because they make the effort to learn and grow.

Nothing meaningful was ever accomplished in this life without a strong measure of hard work.
If you don't know how, learn how.  Stretch.  You can do it.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
