My wish as always is for you to have a happy Monday.
History has produced and continue to produce great men and women that are so outstanding that their names and memory are immortalized. History has also produced the ignorant and unworthy and their desire is to tear down and destroy what is considered to be worthy and noble. Some men and women names are remembered with contempt disgust and ignominy.
Today many men and women are saying I do not want fame and glory when I am being eulogized but I want it now while I am still alive. This has lead to many men and women searching and endeavoring to achieve fame and glory. These men and women failures lie in their not realizing that those who history considered to be worthy did not set out to achieve fame and glory but that they simply surpassed the expectations of men. These were the men and women who did not accept the given but were willing to act on their convictions.
One of the ironies of life today is that we are programmed to oppose or to being opposed. This results in the good being opposed and even what is noble coming under attack and things less noble being presented as being of a better value. There are less and less consensus to accept good ideas and working toward a goal. It is in light of this that you and I must pursue our convictions and chase our ideas and dreams. There is hardly the likelihood of us receiving any accolades but history will vindicates our beliefs.
Here are some of the choices that we have;
1. To be lost in the crowd and at no time be seen upfront
2. To blow our own trumpet while trying to achieve fame and glory
3. To rise far above the bar and let history be out judge
There is no neutrality in this game and if we fail to make a choice life and circumstances will choose for us.
