In life we are met with many limitless propositions. When faced with these situations, we have to make our own parameters because limitless propositions will suck the life out of you if you let them. For example, teaching is a limitless proposition--there is endless opportunity to serve students, families and schools. If you wanted, you could work on your teaching task 24-7 and still have lots more to do, but we all know that investing in anything 24-7 over time simply exhausts you and makes you far less able to do the job well. Parameters matter.
Faced with a limitless proposition recently, I found that the parameters I made were too loose, thus diluting the good work I was able to do. So today, I remade the parameters, hoping these rules of the road will spell greater capacity and better work. let's see.
No one is superhuman, and no one has the capacity to fulfill the limitless proposition that some tasks and opportunities provide. We all have to figure out what we can do and what we can't do. We also have to respect the parameters that other people make for the work they do--everyone brings different capacity to life's proposition and we have to respect that. Onward.
