Live with competence

There are things you are competent at doing. Challenge that competence, improve that competence, expand on it, repeatedly put it to meaningful use.

Be inspired by your competence in one area to develop new competence in other areas. Look for how you can get better, then get better at getting better.

Life presents you with obstacles, unfairness, and disappointments, but also with resources and opportunities. To make the best of all that, respond with competence.

Your competence feeds upon itself. Exercise competence and grow even more competent.

Complaining, blaming, making excuses, criticizing, seeking pity, all those dig you deeper into negativity. Competence gets you out, and you have the wherewithal to use it.

Engage your abilities, your energy, your passion, wisdom and purpose. Live with competence, and lift all of life higher.
