In search of excellence

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

Sometimes it is easy to get so caught  coping with the everyday stresses of life that we forget that it is possible to aspire after immortality. There are, of course, two versions of immortality. There is immortality as provided by the Judeo/Christian God and there is immortality to be gained by making a name that will be remembered going forward into the future. The earth heroes to continue rising with each new generation.

One of the known interesting things in life is that fools have fathered geniuses and geniuses have fathered fools. Brilliance does not necessarily run in the genes. In fact each individual that is born on the earth is the product of eternity and is the result of centuries of genes and traits coming together in one person. This is why our world is so amazing and does not produce identical persons. It also allows for individuals to set their sights on the stars for man is born with the potential to be greater than those before him. No man will excel in every area of life but each man can excel in at least one area of life.

Every man is born with the potential to excel but every man does not aspire to be excel.  Every man does not get his call to excellence at the same time . Some persons get the call at a tender age while still a child and some get their call in their advanced years and the call to excellence continue to rise between these two extremes.

The question remain as to what impact a person want to leave on this earth when the time comes to leave. I have been to funerals and after listening to the eulogy and remembrance it was as if the person have never existed on the face of the earth. They lived and died and it was as if they had never been here because there was not a single impact that could be identified with the person.

There are persons whose names evoke smile and inspiration and they are listed among the persons of fame. The persons are held up as exemplary and are worth following. There is also the danger of leaving the earth and the memory of the persons name is associated with contempt. 

The possibility to excel are endless and in each man is a seed waiting for the right soil and condition in which to germinate. the soil of your mind is fertile and there are a world of good that can be done for a fellowman. this week may be a good time to change the mindset.
