It means that do not worry about what you cannot do but think about what you can do and try to achieve that.Because if you worry about what you cannot do then you will end up not achieving what you could do also!!! It's like whether you see the glass as half empty (thinking of things that you can't do) or seeing it as half full (things that you can do)
In the same context I would like to quote some similar ones:
"Miraculous things are done by people who are dumb enough not to realise that what they set out to do is improbable". Here you can see that the person has not seen what he cant do but is seeing what he can do.
Also a blind man thinking that he can participate in the "Special Olympics for handicapped" instead of thinking that he cannot see the world is also another example of the above quote.
Hope you are satisfied with my effort. Warm regards!!! Keep asking and keep getting asked!!! C U in another question!!!

I think it is saying that most people spend some much time worrying about their limitations that they never get to experience their full potential

Don't constantly dwell on what you are not able to do, cause that will discourage you and that will interfere with what you can do!

It means that when you cannot really do something, don't give up; instead do the BEST that you can, under such circumstances.

keep in mind that you cant do things, but do not let it get in the way of doing things you can do.
basically, be the best you, you can be.
