Reach...

By Vichara


It is always good to have your reach exceed your grasp. I have been thinking a lot about reaching and grabbing as I have been recovering from hand surgery in the last week. By having limited use of one hand and pretty much relying on one hand I have been reminded daily of the limitations as a result of this medical adventure. But of course, because my brain thinks this way, I begin to think of certain limitations we put on ourselves all the time. We are living in a time of even greater resources than our parents had. If there is something we need to learn, know or try to understand we are basically only a few mouse clicks away from finding out. It is what we do with it after we have this information is of course the key. Sometimes it will be fear that will keep us from moving forward but do realize that for the great majority of things you yourself have the key to reach even farther than yesterday. You do have the ability to exceed your grasp. Trust in yourself more and this adventure we have all have been given.

Did you know?
"Vulnerable" is ultimately derived from the Latin noun "vulnus" ("wound"). "Vulnus" led to the Latin verb "vulnerare," meaning "to wound," and then to the Late Latin adjective "vulnerabilis," which became "vulnerable" in English in the early 1600s. "Vulnerable" originally meant "capable of being physically wounded" or "having the power to wound" (the latter is now obsolete), but since the late 1600s, it has also been used figuratively to suggest a defenselessness against non-physical attacks. In other words, someone (or something) can be vulnerable to criticism or failure as well as to literal wounding. When it is used figuratively, "vulnerable" is often followed by the preposition "to."
