Hang your cap for where your hand go reach.

Meaning: Do things that are within your reach.

My brother sometimes we go need to try things wey no dey our reach. If you no stretch your limit sometimes you no go know how far you go fit go. If you keep trying only the things wey dey your reach (your comfort zone) you fit no grow in life. Or you go fit grow but you no go grow reach your potentials.
