It’s not what you have; 
it’s what you have with you.
You may own several umbrellas, 
but unless you have one handy 
when it rains, none of them are 
useful.
Your degree(s), that camera, the 
skills you have developed over 
the years, are things you possess, 
but unless they are put to use 
they do not serve your current 
purpose.
Some of us travel lightly through 
this life, taking only what is 
believed to be needed at the time. 
Others are better prepared for
whatever they encounter.
Only you can decide to use what
you have, or use what you can.
