We can reach beyond our grasp. To achieve objectives which
are readily available does not require great effort. To be valiant we can
take risk and go beyond the comfortable and convenient. When we require more
of ourselves than anyone else, we begin to create our desired destiny.
Robert Browning wrote: “A man’s reach should exceed his
grasp, or what’s a heaven for?”
When we reach for the stars, at least we won’t end up with a
fist full of dirt. The challenge in life is not to exist from day to day,
rather to create, forge and determine our direction and our destiny.
History has shown those who reach great heights are not those
who have been given everything on a
 silver
platter, rather it is those who take what they have been given and make the
best of it. While it is quite easy to wallow in self pity each time a
difficult situation arises, our challenge is to confront conflict and
institute a plan of action to achieve a solution.
Instead of enduring, suffering, or simply tolerating times of
trouble, we can rise to the occasion and become better as a result. When we
stretch beyond comfort and convenience, we establish a foundation which
allows our imagination and creativity to soar with the eagles rather than
slither with the snakes.
More of the same always produces more of the same. Reaching
for the stars will produce a different effect which, while not always
desirable, will at least allow us to evaluate and adjust to a new reality
which may lead to a new beginning.
It is not circumstance, rather our reaction to it, which
creates our reality. When we reach Beyond our Grasp, we establish a powerful
process to create our fate and fortune.
