Good nature will always supply the absence of beauty; but beauty cannot supply the absence of good nature.

It can be done

by Ralph Marston

The task will take three hours but you only have one hour. Although you won’t get it finished, you can get it started.

Chances are good you’ll have another hour available later, and then another hour at some point after that. So even though you may not have enough time all at once, you can find the time in smaller increments.

The point is, you can use the lack of time as an excuse to give up, or you can see it as a challenge to move forward. The same can apply to money or other resources, skills, knowledge, connections, or any factor in limited supply.

True, you may not have what’s necessary right now. But that doesn’t mean it will be forever out of your reach.

What you can always do immediately is start with what you have. That gives you tangible progress to build upon.

Once you get started, you’ll be better positioned and more highly motivated to keep going. And though it won’t be easy, you’ll discover again and again that it can be done.
