I Can, You Can

Nothing is too hard if you really think about it, I can, you can, says we can. The Bible says that what is impossible for man is possible for God, maybe a woman said that, what is impossible for man is possible for a woman. It just means that we have to take some time to really think about what we can do and what we can't. What we can achieve realistically is a better way to think than I can do anything I like if I really put my mind to it. Sure there is a lot we can achieve by working hrad and putting our minds together to think through how we can possibly achieve something that initially looks too hard, that is saying I can you can because we work together and use our combined resources to achieve our goal.  We also have to remember that there is rules to learn and obey and just because I can go to the corner store and steal a chocolate, does not mean that I am allowed to. There are consequences to our actions and we have to be responsible in making choices. LIke at a marriage ceremoney, the bride and groom both have to say I do. That does not necessarily mean that they jump into bed first just because they can. There is a need for long term committment and that comes by exchanging wedding vows. We have to take time out to think about what is right and wrong and that means being responsible to ourselves and to each other. God give us the grace and understanding to accept those few simple rules. Again I say Rome was not built in a day as many people have wisely quoted, but doing life is about long term sustainability and sharing and caring of resources and to use our minds wisely and shrewdly in all aspects of our work relationships. In order to progress naturally we have to think rationally first and that does not necessarily mean nationally, but a good head would try and understand that to. I can, you can, yes, but first use your head to share ideas and bounce of your ideas with other people's ideas. I can, you can it is indeed fair as we all have our own gifted abilities, but the key is in combining our resources and not jumping the gun to race in and blunder our way through any time we like. There were three types of can openers when I was growing up, the one you had to dig in and work your way around in up and down actions with a sharp edge to it. Then there was the one that you dug in and turned the handle around yourself and got the lid off. Thirdly there was the electric one that did everything for you and even had a magnet to hold the lid when you removed the can. So just as can openers advanced throughout the eyars so to does our abilities in being able to do what we can, once we have aquired skills and experience in how to do things properly. We can take a good lesson from the can opener as it only makes life easier for us by having the right tools. Tools were developed for mechanics and gardeners, computers were developed instead of typewriters, cars were developed instead of walking, now there is trains and buses and even ships and planes to get us where we want to go internationally. I can you can, but remember all the hard work in innovative ideas that were developed over the years to make life easier, not to cheat the system but to help us in our everyday work to get things done more pratically and easier, so that our backs would not brake and our heads would not crack, but that we would make life more pleasant and comfortable for ourselves in the long term scheme of things for the long run and the long haul. So next time you want to load up your truck use a forklift and next time you move use a removal van instead of making twenty trips in you car. I can you can, yes, but common sense must prevail.
