It is so easy to add something new. To take a quick trip to the grocery store for a few more things rather than using what’s already in our fridge. To search for another piece of clothing rather than using what’s already in our closet. To take another online course rather than using the gifts and skills already in our wheelhouse. To paint the walls a different color rather than working with the one that’s already there.
Learning to work with what we’ve got calls on our creativity and imagination.
Learning to work with what we’ve got helps us put our talents to good use in new ways.
Learning to work with what we’ve got expands our capacity to solve problems.
Learning to work with what we’ve got teaches us to be content with what have.
Learning to work with what we’ve got helps us to be grateful for the life that is already ours.
Today a dear friend showed up with lunch in the midst of a big day of moving another dear friend into her new home. Rather than going to the store to buy more groceries for our lunch, she simply worked with what she had. And it was perfect.
