What can you do?
Carry heavy things?
Sprint away from danger if life demanded it?
Walk long distances?
Break a fall, catch your kid, hold your ground?
But capability isn’t just physical.
It’s also emotional.
It’s also spiritual.
Can you keep faith when things look bleak?
Can you hold discipline when the world tests you?
Can you stay calm under pressure?
Can you take a hit, or two, or three, and keep moving forward?
Capability is the sum of a thousand small disciplines:
- The reps you log (in and out of the gym)
- The miles you walk (and run)
- The books you read
- The food you prepare
- The nights of sleep
- The habits you build
- The storms you endure
Capability is not a gift.
It’s not luck.
It’s not talent.
It’s built.
Choice by choice.
Day by day.
Brick by brick.
Build capability…not out of paranoia. Not out of fear.
But out of respect—for life, for responsibility, for the people who count on you.
When life ask you the question, “What are you prepared to do?”
Be capable of answering, “Anything that needs doing.”
