Cook with Me: The crucial difference between capacity and ability

Hollis English Season 1 Episode 19

I have the tastebuds of octogenarians ok, I LOVE rhubarb. And I am not afraid to admit it. My sister use to call rhubarb, 'weird sour celery' and honestly she's not wrong. But I digress, this episode isn't about rhubarb, though its the supporting actor here (unpaid). What I am talking about today is the difference between capacity and ability. Just because you are ABLE to do something does not mean you have the CAPACITY to do it. And even if you have the capacity/time/space to do something doesn't mean you are able to/have the skills. Just because you can do something doesn't always mean you want to or should and often guilt can creep in because you "can do it". All this to say, that if you have a skill, if you are capable of different things in your life, focus on doing them WHEN YOU CAN and then celebrating your self for it. OK!? Life is about building knowledge and skills, its not about being a slave to that skill and having to do it all the time. Do it when it works.
