A few pleasant words this week please

My wish as always is for you to have a Happy Monday.

There are many persons that are afraid to set goals because ever so often we are told to set realistic goals. Who really determines what a realistic goal is? I have listened to preachers who I am convinced set limits on God. This is not comparing man with God but the preacher said to be realistic when praying.

I often hear that expectations should be confined to limitations and yet all of us know that there is no confining the human mind. It is okay to stretch the imagination and the abilities. There is no machine that I know of that has been invented so far that can measure the human potential or ability. Goals that are set within the confines of the ability takes little effort to achieve. Try achieving something unrealistic this week.

Of course the human mind is averse to pain and stress and yet it is these which bring out the true quality that lies within the person. If there is no test neither will we know how much we can endure. I still insist that there is no guarantee that we will live to see tomorrow or next year but it is possible that after death we continue to live on. Life's purpose is to live it in the service of our fellowman so my challenge for this week is for you and I to experience the joy of serving our fellowman. This is a possible door to immortality.

Take a little time a do a small deed  of kindness during the course of this week, do something that will make another person happy. It does not have to be a deed but it can also be taking the time to smile or say a few kind and pleasant words.
