Never Called To What You Can't Do

Listen to "Never Called To What You Can't Do" on Spreaker. The title alone challenges me. I look at it and feel prepared to take it on. It says, "You can't achieve."

We make choices. We decide that we are going to become. We push ourselves until we can't breathe. We scream out late late at night. Then one morning you wake up and realize the difference between what we want and what we are called to do are universes away from making a true connection. Let go. Stop chasing what's killing you from the inside out. Until you begin a journey of daily writing you'll never know who you really are. Only a dream away from another dream linked to another dream then another. Where is your reality? You're never gonna be called to what you can't do. Bosses put you in front of a can't do situation a billion times a year. You're convinced though that you can do it. Then something breaks. You won't get that time back. Put your energy in what you can do. Watch yourself grow forward. Document it in your daily writing. Teach it to someone tomorrow.
