LAYER CAPABILITIES

Capabilities
I
n order to make your opportunities
real, your capabilities need to
match your opportunities. Until
your capabilities match your
opportunities, you won’t reach
your opportunities. 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 really want in your life is a
result. It’s building capabilities that will
deliver results for you.
When you face roadblocks, remember
what my friend Dan Sullivan says:
Irritated oysters make pearls. Whatever
irritates you in your life, there is

something in it that gives you the ability
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 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. +
