Start with what you have, not with what you don’t
have. Opportunity is always where you are never where you were. To get anywhere
you must launch out for somewhere, or you will get nowhere. Hamilton Mabie
said, “the question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had
the means, time, influence, and education advantages, but what he will do with
the things he has.” God will always give us an ability to create what we need
from something that is already here.

Each person tends to either underrate or overrate
that which they do not posses. Ed Howe said, “People are always neglecting
something they can do and trying to do something they can’t do.” I agree with
Teddy Roosevelt when he said, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you
are.” The only way to learn anything thoroughly is by starting at the
bottom (except when learning how to swim). To be successful do what you can.
Ken Keys Jr. opines, “To be upset over what you don’t have is to waste what you
do have”.

The truth is that many are successful because they
didn’t have advantages others had. Successful people accomplish more than
others because they make the best every situation. According to Epicurus, “Do
not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what
you now have was once among the things only hoped for”. No improvement is as
certain as that which proceeds from the right and timely use of what you
already have. Mike Murdock believes that “whatever God has already given to you
will create anything else He has promised to you.” Everyone who has ‘arrived’
has had to begin where they were.

The truth is, you can`t know what you can do or
achieve until you try. The most certain way to achieve your dream is to start
right where you are.
