What we are capable of seems to be largely born from what we are able to imagine. And, what we are able to imagine...from what we have experienced.
This cuts both ways, for the good and the bad—kind of painful when you let that sink in a bit.
Seek good experience whenever you can. And, recognize that whatever your current experience is (good or bad), your imagination can be enhanced from it. At the end of the day, what else is there really to do in life? This only enhances your capacity to give life.
(I might have expected to end the above with 'live life', instead of 'give life'—but then realized, aren't they really the same thing?).
