“Why don’t you change that phrase into ‘the seed that you
will sow’?”, asked my friend – aka support structure for this blog – regarding
the last sentence of a recent post. “I think ‘will’ is more positive than ‘can’
”, she added.
She is right. What you
"will" do sounds more positive than what you "can" do. But
here is the thing: my aim wasn't to make it more positive. When I ask
"what can you do", I am acknowledging that there are things that can
be done, I am acknowledging your ability to act. The purpose was to make the
reader reflect precisely from that perspective.
I believe that each one of
us has potential and unique abilities. There are countless things, little
things that we can do daily. Tiny seeds that we can sow and watch them grow.
It’s not our ability that is
missing; it’s the awareness of and confidence in that ability.
So I am making the question
again: What can you do?
Commit to finding the answer. And once you have it,
decide how willing you are to actually do it.
