Happiness and joy

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

There is a story of a man who later turns out to be a genius and who was known to be a brilliant man. He was hiding away in a remote place doing the job that was more reserved for the unskilled. Then he got the call to take on a really big task for which he was qualified but for a time he kept responding I can"t. So he was asked the question,  "What is it that you have you got in your hand?"

One of the sad things that do happen in life is for dreams and passion to die and instead the acceptance of pickings take the place of pursuing dreams and passion. Life is about opportunity meeting desire and where there is no desire or passion there will be no opportunity. It would be  sad if opportunity should come and it is not recognized or allowed to pass.

Opposition is a big bad giant that is feared by most persons. It robs joy and happiness and instead replace them with fear and distress. The truly great men in life had to face opposition because once a goal is set then there is the test of true desire. The question then is asked how much do you really desire your dream and how much will you sacrifice to accomplish your dreams.

Life too is about joy and happiness. Happiness is fleeting and elusive but joy is easier to find because joy result from knowing that you are doing the right. Doing the right will not necessarily bring happiness but here is where the end results differ. There is no sadness to joy because joy encourages perseverance and in the end perseverance bring happiness. And even if there is no happiness in the end there  remain joy in knowing that the right thing was done.

Far too often the opportunity to do something great is sough at the expense of doing the available little things. Heavy equipment is desired when what can be used is what is in the hand.Dreams and passion do not have to die if a little is done each day using the material that are available. One day when all is added there will be a lot of surprises.

The genius mentioned earlier never seem to have accumulated any wealth in this world, He left no record of provision for his children yet he went to heights where no man has been and today he continues to influence more than half of the earths population.

You and I do not know the end results if we do the little things that opportunity presents.
