Mondays begins the week and my heart's desire is for you and I to look forward to positive outcomes during the week so my wish for you as always is that you will have a happy Monday.
There is no such thing as "It is too good to be true." Such beliefs and mindset set out to rob us of the good and positive things that will come into our lives at the very beginning. Great and unbelievable things will happen to us and for us.
It is highly improbable that we just exists because we have intelligence that causes us to plan and look toward the future. Also our world is a world of order and even if the proponents of The Evolution Theory are right then the forces that brought about the evolution process remain greater than you and I because it exerts it's influences on us. The natural assumption being that the creator is greater than the creation.
Many who expound the idea of there being a great creator short change others because their creator is only as big as their imagination or does not surpass their experiences. These people teach others to limit their creator to these views.
In reality whether we believe it or not does not diminish the reality and power of those greater than us. The evolution process cannot be that it brought into being and then abandon what it initiated. The Evolution Theory becomes a joke if it started a process and then ceased to exist somewhere along the road so this process must continue for those who believe it.
Those who believe the creation process have the creator constantly watching over and guiding events.
Whichever way you look at it embrace goodness and do not say it is too good to be true.

Standards
My wish for you as always is for you to have a Happy Monday.
Sometimes we are just plain ignorant of the fact that there are standards by which we are judged or within which we are expected to operate in every aspect of our lives. Those persons who fall below or fail to meet those accepted standards we regard as failures. These so called failures we will have to be examine at another time. Those persons who meet and maintain the accepted standards are regarded as ordinary or normal and are readily accepted. This is the place where most persons are at present.
There is a small percentage of persons, however, who surpasses the accepted standards and reach the highest standards set by man. These persons are revered because they reach the ultimate set by man and there is no further to go.
There is a set of standards however that is described as humanly impossible and a person does not have to be a professor, consultant or genius to achieve this that is described as humanly impossible. This is the ability given to every man to be creative because every man is subject to inspiration.
Historically many persons have been considered to be too dangerous to be allowed to live because it is known that you can imprison a man's body but not his mind and brain so the body that houses these has to be destroyed. Your thoughts and ideas are powerful and should your desire be to enhance the well being of humanity you will be accepted.
If you see yourself maintaining the accepted standard then you are and will be like everyone else. It is okay to become the enemy of others by attempting what is considered to be humanly impossible because others will ask, why should you be greater than us?
If you are fortunate you will live 75 years or approximately 28,000 days on this earth. Why live it in the mold cast for you by others when it is possible to reach a realm that they consider to be impossible and are beyond their aspiration?

Joy comes after pain
I recall a time in my early 20's when I visited a friend on the maternity ward of a hospital. I confess that I was totally ignorant then but do recall her saying "Never again will I have another child." I laugh at the thought now because she went on to have I do not know how many more children. This lady remind me that before experiencing joy and delight there is pain and agony.
Life is of such that we tend to be able to recall the bad things and forget the good things. In fact sometimes we are tempted to think that life is all about bad events happening. One of the good thing about life however is our ability to forget pain and hurt and move on. Many persons have realized that in clinging to hurt and seeking revenge they actually hurt more than the one on whom they seek revenge.
A glorious world of possibility lies before us and fortunately accessing those possibilities will come with pain but later we forget the pain as we relish in the pleasures of success. The joy that comes after enduring pain is not new but is the way that successful people travel.
I encourage you to pursue your dreams in spite of the seeming obstacles that are in the way. You will discover that when you come upon the seeming obstacle it will disappear.

How far will you go?
My wish for you as always is that you will have a happy Monday.
"The man is so brilliant that it is a pity that all that knowledge shall die with him." This statement was said of a gentleman that I knew some years ago. It keeps coming back to my mind because ever so often I am forced to listen to discussions where the main concern is "Will anyone remember me after I die."
I was amused this past week as I listened to the news cast and a businessman was mentioned with pride how disciplined and hardworking he was waking at 4:00 am and working for the entire day. I readily admit that I admire the persons that can plan every minute of their day and not deviate from the plan. Years of experience have taught me personally to have a plan but to allow for flexibility because my life is subjected to factors over which I have no control. Moreover one of my greatest joys is to be of help to my fellowman and often I put me on hold to accommodate my fellowman.
It is not a really smart thing to set out to accomplish immortality or something that will leave a lasting impact on history. Immortality is achieved by those who rise above the accepted standards of human behavior and this is possible for anyone to achieve.
Everyone has a hope, a dream, an aspiration and no one will pursue this for us but we can do it for ourselves and pursue it beyond what is perceived as the accepted human standard. It is not enough to be like other men because it is possible to rise and stand tall above other men.
In the end throughout life you will have gained a lot of knowledge but what will become of it? Will it die with you?

Changes
My wish for you as always is that you will have a happy Monday.
Recently I read an article by a gentleman that chronicled his inability to bring about sustainable changes in his life. In spite of his best efforts to change he kept reverting to the old patterns. In his distress he was appealing to his friends for help.
More than twenty years ago I was taught that a man will change when one of two things happen. Either when he is hurt enough or when he see the need for a change. Change bring pain and we all like to be pain free and remain in the place where we are comfortable. Changes also requires us to sustain the change otherwise we will return to our natural inclinations.
When we consider making changes we should also consider working with our natural inclination. I am aware that some person who read this may not be inclined towards Christian teachings but I think it may be helpful here to mention the Bible.
The Bible present the highest being as God and his desire is to shape and mold man to be like him. When a man comes into contact with God the changes are brought about by God using what already exist in the man by refocusing the man.
There are too many of us who want to change and undo the person that we are when in reality what we really need is a change of focus.

Desire, passion and opportunity
I take this opportunity to wish you a happy Monday
Desire, passion and opportunity have a way of keeping each others company. When and where there is no desire or passion then opportunity is most often ignored or lost. When desire or passion is strong enough then it naturally attracts opportunity because desire and passion are magnets.
So far I cannot recall ever coming across a formula to stir or ignite desire and passion but this in no cause to ignore the reality of these. They are like inspiration which is common to every man while at the same time every man is not inspired to do the same thing or in the same way.
You and I have today which is the present, the past is already and there is nothing that you and I can do about it and the future is yet to be and it has no guarantee. That is why we have to make use of the now and make our impact today. It is important for us to recognize opportunity and seize its possibilities. The saddest words in the English language are the words "If only". Today we can continue to build on what we have already started or to make a start. For those who have not yet made the start there must be an idea, thought or dream that you can begin to pursue. The intensity with which you go about pursuing that idea, thought or dream will determine your desire or passion. You will find that if your pursuit is sufficiently intense you will not only attract opportunities but they will spawn other areas to pursue. You will also find that after a time you have more things to pursue than as an individual you can cope with therefore it is important to follow through to the end. There is nothing wrong with recruiting others as you pursue your ideas, thoughts, dreams and aspirations. It is a good thing when your dreams get bigger than you.
Remember that bravery and courage are qualities that are best demonstrated in battle and they are essentially useless unless there is a challenge. It take battles and challenges to build these so today is the day to either continue what has already begun or to make a start.

A way to joy and happiness
My genuine wish for you is that this will be a truly happy Monday.
From time to time I read or hear of individuals living their lives in poverty, misery, want and need then when they die their relatives discover stacks of hidden cash or huge sums of money that the individual had in a bank account. These stories are not for fetched because I have known such persons and so too likely many who are reading this. We tend to look upon such persons with horror and most times declare I would never do such a thing.
Many of us however have dreams, thoughts and ideas which we never act upon but allow to go to waste. The chances are had we dared to venture we would have been not only the recipient of monetary rewards but also would have experienced the joys of seeing our efforts bearing fruit. Too often we envision the results of our efforts with minds that are naturally programmed towards the negative when the reality is that the positive is far more likely to happen. At its worst a failed effort should spawn other ideas.
We are no better than the person who possess large amounts of money but live in poverty and misery if we fail to or refuse to act upon our thoughts, ideas or acts in times of inspiration.
It is hard for some individuals to understand when a person might say "I have so many things to do but I do not have the time." The reality at present is that I wish that I had persons to whom I could pass on my thoughts and ideas so that I might have help in pursuing them all. I wish I had the money and time to devote to my thoughts and the ideas.
The ground work has been laid and I continue to pursue my dreams and ideas and I am enjoying the journey. I am recruiting a team to assist me as I go along because it is impossible for me to do it alone. In some instances it will require investing money but I give thanks that I have discovered a way to dream big and start pursuing my ideas without a great amount of money and now they are showing the possibility of returning a huge pay day.
At the same time one of the sad things that becomes a reality ever so often is a quote made over two thousand years ago "It is only in his own country and among his own relatives that a man does not have any honor." Do not expects support and encouragement from your relatives and friends because they do not necessarily want to see you succeed. How sad.
There is joy and happiness in pursuing those dreams, thoughts and ideas. I hope you will begin today because soon you will experience the joy of not having enough time to pursue them all because they are so many.
