Caring enough

It’s possible that you couldn’t get it done. You didn’t have enough skill, enough time, enough emotional capacity, or enough resources.

But it’s equally possible — or even alternatively possible — that you didn’t care enough to get it done. And that’s an important distinction.

When something doesn’t get done, we are the authors and editors of the narratives and explanations.

But as such, we should be clear about understanding when we could have done something ... if we’d have only cared enough to act.
