Start where you are .....

“Start where you are,Use what you have”-Arthur Ashe

Have you ever wondered how many times you thought to start

something new?

Have you ever thought why didn’t you start and worked upon particular plan?

And if you started it why did you you gave up soon after starting?

Can you find common answer to this?Let me give you a hint-You thought you didn’t have enough resources or required talent.

In some form or another maybe your answer was a match to it.Then there is something more you can ponder about,that is every time you thought of starting a particular thing you knew you had something with you,maybe you had talent but not a resource or maybe resources but not all the talents required to execute it or maybe you had both but not the enough support from people around.

You may add few more points to it but you can never deny the fact that “you did have something”.

Yes,this is the fact all fingers of your hand are not equal but then it is not expected from each finger to perform alike.A cricket team is comprised of Batsman,wicket-keeper,all-rounder and bowlers.A batsman is expected to perform according to his talent and bowler is never expected to score a century or two.

A defender’s job in soccer is to defend his goal post while striker is entitled to score a goal for team.

The reason is simple we all have different talent and so we are to be evaluated accordingly,If defender focuses on his/her inability of not scoring a goal and Batsman give up playing because he doesn’t know how to deliver a delivery will they be able to represent their team ever?

They focus on what they have and start to practice to sharpen their skills.

There are enough stories available to support the fact that “Until you start with what you have You won’t get what you want”.

God has provided us with talents according to our abilities,So some of us are multitasking and multitalented while few of us are blessed with single talent.So,it’s our duty to find it and start with what we have got,there is no limit to which we can blame world or The Almighty for what we don’t have.At the end we are going to be evaluated on the basis of the fact -that what talent we had and what justice we did with it.

So,start where you are and use what you have.
